ARGH, that's broken on x86_64, it needs to be:

        u32 high, low;

        asm ("mull %[b]" : "=a" (low), "=d" (high)
                         : [a] "a" (a), [b] "g" (b) );

        return low | ((u64)high) << 32;

The 'A' constraint doesn't work right.

And with that all the benchmark results are borken too.
