Why is this done? As far as I can tell, the values always get overwritten at
the end of the function with tmp and tmp isn't derived from them. Seems
ebc2a1a69111 moved some logic that used to make sense but doesn't have any
effect now.

next is always greater than lowest_bit because it's aligned up. I think the
intent of the max_t line is to handle when next is aligned outside the valid
range, so it'd have to be ALIGN_DOWN instead?


These aside, patch looks good to me.
