Yes, that would indeed be the cleanest solution, since that patch actually accesses internal data structures which may change add any time.
I doubt they'll change any time :-) All of those APIs have been stable for a long time.
I wonder, though, if it would hurt performance if accesses were changed byte-based.
Very probably, but it's such a non-performance-related area of the code
that I don't think you could measure the difference without a very
special-case microbenchmark.
