Yes.

Wow!!

You plan to use it for
- the first descriptor in a list as others already have length embedded in them?
- And the descriptor currently getting used, by reading its ctlhi/lo

instead of lli.*** ?

Looks good. but still keeping len of individual descriptors in all
descriptors leaving
the first one is not the code i would like to keep :)
