Hrm.. I actually deliberately removed the L, on the grounds that
"long" doesn't necessarily have a consistent meaning between C and
asm.  The idea is that all these operations work on the "natural" size
for the arch, which is to say the size of the GPRs, which is to say
the size of a C long.

Up to you, paulus.
