v5 -> v6:
- add prop_size32 instead of going with 64bit
Would it be worth adding prop_size32 as its own patch, before using it here?
I've no strong opinion on this.  Should I better split it out when
respinning?
Patch splitting is an art-form.  But in general, a long series of 
smaller patches each easy to review is going to get accepted into the 
tree faster than a single patch that merges multiple changes into one 
big blob, even if the net diff is identical.  It's rare that someone 
will ask you to merge patches because you split too far, so the real 
tradeoff is whether it will cost you more time to split than what you 
will save the next reviewer (including the maintainer that will merge 
your patches, depending on whether the maintainer also reviews it or 
just trusts my review), if you decide to go with a v7.
