In the discussion you mentioned above, the u32* was cast to u64*,
which is wrong. The code
here is safe because in the worst case, it casts u64* to u32*. This
would be OK wrt
-Werror=array-bounds.

The function itself looks like doing this unsigned long <-> u64
conversions just for printing
purpose. I'm not a qlogic expert, so let's wait what people say?

The printing part may be refactored although to use %pb" format,
similarly to the snippet below
(not tested).

Thanks,
Yury
