Ok, thanks for the reference, I picked the first one that came up in
a google search and didn't expect this to ever have changed.

This becomes easier then, as powerpc and sparc already have the non-padded
calling conventions, so you could just generalize those without looking at
the other architectures or adding the padding. The powerpc version already
has the dual-endian version, so using that will work on big-endian sparc and
on little-endian riscv as well, though we may need to come up with a better name
for the arg_u32/arg_u64/merge_64 macros in order to put that into a global
header without namespace collisions.
