As far as I understand, the 64-bit will do a 64 bit addition, so we will 
have to handle differently the carry, can't just be an addze like in 32-bit.

The generated code is most likely different on ppc64. I have no ppc64 
compiler so I can't check what gcc generates for the following code:

|__wsumcsum_add(__wsum csum,  __wsum addend)
{
	u32 res= (__force u32)csum;
	res+= (__force u32)addend;
	return  (__force __wsum)(res+ (res< (__force u32)addend));
}|


Can someone with a ppc64 compiler tell what we get ?
