{32,63} should be {32,64}

FSCRYPT_POLICY_IV_INO_LBLK_{64,32} should be
FSCRYPT_POLICY_FLAG_IV_INO_LBLK_{64,32}

I'm not sure what the last sentence is trying to say.

Is it intentional that this is off by 1?  If indices can be up to U32_MAX, then
the maximum size is U32_MAX + 1.  It's not a bad idea to go with the lower size,
so that max_index + 1 does not overflow.  But that's not what the explanation
says, so this seems to be accidental.
