Could we get rid of the macros, please?

unsigned long crc32_ul(unsigned long crc, unsigned long data)
{
	if (IS_DEFINED(CONFIG_X86_64))
		return __builtin_ia32_crc32di(crc, data)
	else
		return __builtin_ia32_crc32si(crc, data)
}

I guess it could also do some check like:

	if (sizeof(int) == sizeof(long))

instead of CONFIG_X86_64, but the CONFIG_X86_64 will make it more
obvious when someone comes through to rip out 32-bit support some day.
