Let's just go ahead & leave everything as 64, and I'll do the 64 -> n64
rename later. I hoped whilst you were adding n64-specific code this
would be an easy change, but at this point let's just prioritize getting
the series applied without the naming change so it can sit in -next for
a while before the merge window.

Thanks,
