add upper-32-bits macro

Browse Source 
We keep on getting "right shift count >= width of type" warnings when doing
things like

	sector_t s;

	x = s >> 56;

because with CONFIG_LBD=n, s is only 32-bit.  Similar problems can occur with
dma_addr_t's.

So add a simple wrapper function which code can use to avoid this warning.
The above example would become

	x = upper_32_bits(s) >> 24;
