Jason's concern seems valid to me IMHO. But if the simpler version is 
preferred, I'd suggest add some comments at least or the check suggested 
by Jason to make the architecture guarantee more clear. Just in case 
someone else won't repeat what we had done just because they see "1ULL" 
in 2lvl code but not in linear code.
