Hmm... from the commit history it looks like GCC prior to 5.1 might not be
happy with that, but that *might* just be if we actually do arithmetic on the
value, and we might be ok just using it for memroy effects. I can't currently
get such an old GCC to run on my machines so I haven't been able to check.

I'll dig into this a bit more tomorrow, but it looks like the options (for a
backport-suitable fix) will be:

(a) use a __uint128_t input+output, as above, if we're lucky

(b) introduce a second 64-bit input+output for the high half (likely a "+o")

(c) use a full memory clobber for ancient compilers.

Mark.
