When errors occur in the computation of the linear address, -1L is returned. Rather than having a separate return path for errors, the variable used to return the computed linear address can be initialized with the error value. Hence, only one return path is needed. This makes the function easier to read.
While here, ensure that the error value is -1L, a 64-bit value, rather than -1, a 32-bit value.
