Hmm, it seems this parameter is also exposed via an ao and ai record
using the asynInt32 device type, so I think the idea of using
asynParamGenericPointer is out.  I'm thinking, then, that the best
approach is to convert between the 64-bit integer and the 32-bit
integer, and report an error if the 64-bit integer from the vendor
library ever exceeds what will fit in the 32-bit integer....  Any better
approach?

Thanks,
