We might also want to do something similar to the
include/linux/io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h
and hi-lo.h files, to simulate 128-bit access using pairs of 64-bit access on
other targets. It's apparently driver specific which half you need to do first
to make it work, so we need both.

I think in this case it's better to do them all at once.

Hmm, that file probably predates the __uint128_t support. My guess would
be that the crypto code using it can actually benefit from the new types as
well, so maybe move the existing file to include/linux/int128.h and add
an #if/#else logic to it so we use 'typedef __uint128_t __u128' if that
is available.

That would be nicely solved by using the #if/#else definition above.

Can't think of anything better. It's not an octet though, but 16 bytes
('q' is for quadword, meaning four 16-bit words in Intel terminology).

I've run it through my collection of compilers, it seems that most but not
all 64-bit targets support it (exceptions appear to be older versions of
gcc for s390x and parisc), and none of the 32-bit targets do:
