Yeah, thanks.

I also need to re-write the reply.sequence value in the queue
function; seems like passing in the vblwait is a simpler plan.

Oh, yes, that makes perfect sense -- an int32_t will obviously hold the
shortest distance between the two, whether negative or positive. Of
course, '(uint32_t) wide' is just 'narrow'.

Your version is a lot shorter, and I think it's actually clearer. How
about

static inline uint64_t widen_32_to_64(uint32_t narrow, uint64_t near)
{
	return near + (int32_t) (narrow - (uint32_t) near);
}

Here's a test program which validates the widen function.
