In builds with -Warray-bounds, casts from smaller objects to larger objects will produce warnings. These can be overly conservative, but since -Warray-bounds has been finding legitimate bugs, it is desirable to turn it on globally. Instead of casting a u32 to a larger object, redefine the u32 portion of the header to a separate struct that can be used for both u32 operations and the distinct header fields.
