Hi Benjamin, it seems to be the 'convention'. I did the same comment
some time ago to Brian Gerst with his patch for i386.

But if you prefer a smaller patch, without changing the constant
name, I can do that too.

Sorry about the first set of patch, I didn't see your reply. I just saw
it today on the archive.
