I've updated the BOOTP/DHCP dissector not to use "tvb_get_ntohll()", but
to use "uto64h()" on the result of "tvb_get_ptr()" instead (although it
may be that the field in question (the "Replay Detection Value" for
option 210, "DHCP Authentication") is best thought of as an array of
bytes rather than as a 64-bit integer, in which case we should probably
use "bytes_to_str()", at least until the BOOTP/DHCP dissector has more
filterable fields added.

The Diameter dissector still does some 64-bit-integer stuff not using
your routines - and the Gryphon dissector does *arithmetic* on them, so
it needs a little more work.

There are "get_CDR_long_long()" and "get_CDR_ulong_long()" routines
declared in "packet-giop.h", but they don't actually exist, so the
declarations could be removed.
