Register pairs are very much a common return model.
And we've relied on that before. For example, 64-bit pte's on x86-32
very much does that whole thing with the "pte_t" union.
So you can now commence being surprised.
(Side note: I think sparc or something doesn't support it, and may
return things in memory. I can't really seem to find it in myself to
care)
