Cast u8 values to u32 when using them to build a 32-bit unsigned value
that is then stored in a u64. This avoids the possibility of a bad sign
extension where the u8 is implicitly extended to an int, thus changing it
from an unsigned to a signed value.
Whether this is a real problem is debatable, but it does no harm to
ensure that the u8 are cast to a suitable type for shifting.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
