For the AArch64 addition, there is no other reason than just using the
same pattern as the one used for ARM. For sure the ARM thing itself
could be improved. I think ultimately all those architecture-specific
definitions could potentially be guessed from standard headers, but
isn't that a separate effort?

Thanks,
