Egads... You have 4 ifdefs before you even get to the body. And good luck
trying to actually keep track of that mess.

They clearly go in 2 pairs, right? One parameter is "do we have padding"
(== does ABI prohibit passing 64bit value in 4th and 5th words), another
is the order in which the halves of 64bit are passed. On l-e you have
bits 0..31 in the first one and bits 32..63 in the second; on b-e it's the
other way round.

Only the logics for putting them together into a 64bit value cares which
half is which; insisting on the names of form <something>{hi,lo} gives
you arseloads of similar variants in ifdefs, all for the sake of not
having conditional code in the body. Or, actually, in the inlined
helper for building that 64bit out of two halves...
