Hi s390 and powerpc people: it would be nice if this generic
implementation *worked* on your architectures and that it will allow
you to add some straightforward way to add a better arch-specific
implementation if you think that would be better.

As the code is right now I can guarantee that it will not work on s390.

OK, I have thrown the towel wrt developing at the same time for multiple architectures.

ATM I'm oriented toward getting support for one (x86_64), leaving the actual mechanism as architecture specific.

Then I can add another one or two and see what makes sense to refactor.
This approach should minimize the churning, overall.
