    We keep on getting "right shift count >= width of type" warnings when doing
    things like
    
    	sector_t s;
    
    	x = s >> 56;
    
    because with CONFIG_LBD=n, s is only 32-bit.  Similar problems can occur with
    dma_addr_t's.
    
    So add a simple wrapper function which code can use to avoid this warning.
    The above example would become
    
    	x = upper_32_bits(s) >> 24;
