I asked for the longer names :)

I think they make it easier for people who are less familiar with the
architecture than us to make sense of the names.

And there's only a couple of cases where it requires splitting a line,
and they could be converted to use switch if we think it's a problem.

Yes I agree.

I think these can all be avoided by defining most of the values
regardless of what platform we're building for. Only the values that
overlap need to be kept behind an ifdef.
