Branch: HEAD
Fix Description: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330121#c0
This may also be related to 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=197886 and may explain why 
the sequence numbers were exhausted so quickly.  Without this fix, we 
only have 256 sequence numbers available.  This fix adds another 6 bits.
The fix is to mask and shift as an unsigned16 quantity, then cast to 
unsigned8.
Platforms tested: RHEL5 x86_64
Flag Day: no - I think this will only impact new unique IDs that are 
generated.  It will not affect existing unique IDs.
Doc impact: no
