I think this okay although I think I think a reminder about the size of 
LARGE_INTEGER to be confident that the conversion from jlong is correct.

AsynchronousFileChannel/Basic.java just happens to exercise it so I 
won't update it's @bug. Best to run the :jdk_nio tests on Windows 32-bit 
and 64-bit to check the change.
