I'm a little bit cross-eyed at this point, but I think the above '888'

... and the line above this one should be adjusted to finish at
fffffeffffffffff (also it's now 40 bits). Or should there be something
else here?

What's at ff910..0 to ff9f..f ?
Is there any way we can generate this part of this file to prevent human
error from creeping in over time? ;-)
