OK.  Before I couldn't find where this was ifdeffed to 32-bit, but it's
in patch 1/2.

With CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU:

   0xc000000000001af8 <+0>:	add     r3,r3,r4
   0xc000000000001afc <+4>:	cmplw   cr7,r3,r4
   0xc000000000001b00 <+8>:	mfcr    r4
   0xc000000000001b04 <+12>:	rlwinm  r4,r4,29,31,31
   0xc000000000001b08 <+16>:	add     r3,r4,r3
   0xc000000000001b0c <+20>:	clrldi  r3,r3,32
   0xc000000000001b10 <+24>:	blr

The mfcr is particularly nasty, at least on our chips.

With CONFIG_CPU_E6500:

   0xc000000000001b30 <+0>:	add     r3,r3,r4
   0xc000000000001b34 <+4>:	cmplw   cr7,r3,r4
   0xc000000000001b38 <+8>:	mfocrf  r4,1
   0xc000000000001b3c <+12>:	rlwinm  r4,r4,29,31,31
   0xc000000000001b40 <+16>:	add     r3,r4,r3
   0xc000000000001b44 <+20>:	clrldi  r3,r3,32
   0xc000000000001b48 <+24>:	blr

Ideal (short of a 64-bit __wsum) would probably be something like (untested):

	add	r3,r3,r4
	srdi	r5,r3,32
	add	r3,r3,r5
	clrldi	r3,r3,32

Or in C code (which would let the compiler schedule it better):

static inline __wsum csum_add(__wsum csum, __wsum addend)
{
        u64 res = (__force u64)csum;
        res += (__force u32)addend;
        return (__force __wsum)((u32)res + (res >> 32));
}
