Unnecessary, except that it is 64-bit instead of the block layer
interface 32-bit, and I didn't want to have to think too hard about how
'bytes' was used in the rest of the function if I used the narrower type
from the get-go.  I also think that 'int count' is fishy, because it
forces us to think about negative values and placating code sanitizers
on undefined shift values; maybe we'd be better with making all byte
interfaces use 'uint32_t' (but still limiting ourselves to 0x80000000 or
2G for any power-of-two limit, and 0xffffffff size transactions would
not be possible if request_alignment is larger than 1).  If we made that
switch, I'd still want to keep 0 as a no-op transaction, and not a
special case for a 4G transaction.  Still, now might be the time to do it.
