All archs, are using same syntax. But. Interesting exception is MIPS, where tokens are organized and implemented more nicely, that is where *asm-values* name coming from, actually. One can see all that text, size, constant tokens in addition to just offsets. So, if name change isn't worth, then OK; filename compatibility check, as one in `linux/Kbuild', is easy to hack as well to remove. But nice feature/tool with meaningful name and functionality is just another thing.
