These header files are heavy users of large constants lacking the "U"
suffix e.g.:

#define NB_ADAPTER_ID__SUBSYSTEM_ID_MASK 0xFFFF0000L

Assigning this to unsigned long on 32-bit will trigger a signed integer
overflow, which is technically UB, and causes "error: initializer
element is not constant" warnings with gcc-5 and -std-gnu11, cfr. [1]

While gcc-5 is old, the fact that this is UB will probably start to
bite us one day...
