96bit actually. While for 64bit platforms it uses the 64x64->128 mult it
only uses 2 32x32->64 mults for 32bit, which isn't sufficient for 128 as
that would require 4.

It also reduces to 1 32x32->64 mult (on 32bit) in case val fits in
32bit.

Therefore its as efficient as your code, but more accurate for not
loosing bits in the full (val is bigger than 32bit) case.
