Pondered some more, and it can't work. The problem is that if we
complete tag 31, we attempt to shift done_mask down by 32 bits. On a
32-bit arch, that's not defined. So we DO need a check like the existing
one, or something similar.
So I don't think we need to make changes to this patch either, at least
unless one of you can come up with a better check that avoids a branch.
