I haven't dive into details of this improvement, so
I'm assuming the improvement is only for 64bit platforms from the title.
There are number of subsystems that supports 64bit int. e.g. file system,
PostgreSQL large object, time, etc. It's nicer if 64bit int is supported on
32bit platforms.
What's the reason not to introduce larger int for 32bit platforms?
Too much performance impact?
