Looking around, it looks like people prefer "long long long" (or in
the kernel, just "u128") for this, because so many have already gotten
used to "long long" being 64-bit, and 32-bit architectures (where
"long" is 32-bit and "long long" is 64-bit) are still relevant enough
that people want to keep that.
