You want to know how many bit are left for some reason? Is there some user API that will break if we overflow and start allocating bits from the next 64-bit word? Or is this just the countdown for when you and I both have a nervous breakdown trying to keep track of that many different option paths through the machine check code :-)
Thanks for the tip about Ctrl-x to decrement a number in vim (Google tell me Ctrl-a increments). Learned something new today :-)
