add upper-32-bits macro
We keep on getting "right shift count >= width of type" warnings when doing things like sector_t s; x = s >> 56; because with CONFIG_LBD=n, s is only 32-bit. Similar problems can occur with dma_addr_t's. So add a simple wrapper function which code can use to avoid this warning. The above example would become x = upper_32_bits(s) >> 24; The first user is in fact AFS.
