Well, maybe later. I want to have it working correctly first, then
optimize and then check how to integrate that nicely.

That would be the most obvious place, yes. Not fully sure yet that this
is really a good idea though as it is sort-of special case for 64bit
data on a 32bit machine, you have to split the 64bit values into two
32bit regs and so on (unlike the 64bit version on x86_64 which simply
uses the 64bit registers). Maybe it's better to keep that separate as
it might be easier to optimize it then, not evaluated yet.
