No, I just added the 'q' prefix to distinguish it from the 'l'
instruction working on the same register one line earlier.

And then I wasn't consistent throughout, because it was really just
about me thinking about that "here we can use 32-bit ops, and here we
are working with the full possible 64-bit range".

So take that code as what it is - an untested and slightly edited
version of the code you sent me, meant for "how about like this"
purposes rather than anything else.
