That is actually quite dodgy... and relies on the fact that we have the
8 byte case in __write_once_size() and __read_once_size()
unconditionally. It then further relies on the compiler DTRT for 32bit
platforms, which is generating 2 32bit loads/stores.

The advantage is of course that it will use single u64 loads/stores
where available.
