This patch makes perfect sense to me. However, I am worried about the 
potential existence of code that assumes the current fixed-size logic; 
in the past when fixing similar issues like this we've often run into 
code that was use "get addr" functions when it should have been using 
"get u32" functions and similar, which then broke when we fixed the 
implementation to do the right thing. I guess we should still apply the 
patch, and fix up any fallout as it appears.
