Do we care about a corner case where delta_size is not smaller than 4 bytes, *datap passed to get_delta_hdr_size() points at some bytes before a mmaped page boundary, and all the bytes til the end of that page have high-bit set? The said inline function would step over the page boundary and would presumably segfault/sigbus.

Other than that, with the attached patch on top of it, I find your clean-up very pleasant to read. Please consider it acked.

------------ If we prefer 0 as maxsize for diff_delta() to say "unlimited", let's be consistent about it.

This patch also fixes type mismatch in a call to get_delta_hdr_size() from packed_delta_info().
