We refer functions as func(), so `u64_to_user_ptr` --> u64_to_user_ptr().

Missing period at the end.

64-bit

Isn't 'number' is a bit misleading here?
It decodes the user pointer, that is encoded into unsigned 64-bit value.
Unfortunately I am not a native speaker, I can't propose anything better.
It might be that the 'number' is quite good choice, dunno.
