I noticed this while reading the code as well, there are lots of
consolidation but some data types are already 64bits and the few
places where they would be truncated seem that were already addressed
before hand.

I can't test 32bit right now, if there are no pending issues and this
patch doesn't fix anything other than some code consolidation, then I
suggest to only push this in jdk8u-dev and skip the release train for
this round (i.e. no critical-fix label).
