Even when the else block *does* need the braces? (Note that kernel
style says to avoid braces on single-line blocks but always use braces
on all branches of an if/else-if/else if any branch needs them.)

Sure.

It's just two words ("long long") and a couple of "ll"s later, but OK.

I thought about that, but it would have complicated the logic, and those
kernel files should always be numbers anyway. However, with a move to a
separate function, this gets easier with early return, so sure.

Gah, I fixed that and then managed to send the wrong patch, sorry.
