On 64bit and K&R C compiler the disp & 0xffffffff is IMO no-op,
assuming that constant is signed int and thus sign extended to
to the 64bit -1.

Anyway my updated patch contains this rewrite to "official" form
using shifts and is consistent with rest of file, so maybe it is
cleaner.

Thanks for comment :)
