A few trivial things inline.

Bonus. I guess you really like this patch :)

Sneaky tidy up. No problem with it in general but adding noise here, so if there
are others in the series maybe gather them up in a cleanup patch.

Local style looks to be traditional C with definitions at top. Maybe define
hest_offset up a few lines and just set it here?

Given the tidy up above, fix this one to have a capital T, or was this
where you meant to change it?

Could wrap less and stay under 80 chars as both lines above add up to 70 something
