I think I touched this one heavily enough that it warrants adding:

Other than the commit message, I'm happy with this patch contents now.
Still some nits, though:

Comment indentation is off.

A comment here might help:

/* word at a time for speed */

On re-reading this, I'm worried whether it violates strict C99 aliasing
rules; I'm hoping the compiler doesn't mis-optimize it based on a
loophole of us using questionable semantics.  In practice, I'm confident
that we are only doing aligned reads (otherwise I wouldn't have
suggested this line in the first place), which is why I'm personally
okay with it even if it technically violates C99.  However, I'm open to
suggestions from anyone else on the list on how to better express the
notion of intentionally accessing a long at a time from an aligned
offset into a byte array, if that will help us avoid even theoretical
problems.

Again, a longer comment might help:

/* word at a time for speed, use of 32-bit long okay */

Same potential strict aliasing problems as for zrun detection.

This is a very interesting question ....
