I was going to say that this is just too magical.  The convention is
that STRUCT_member refers to "member" of "STRUCT".  Here you're
encoding a more complicated calculation.  How about putting just the
needed offsets in asm_offsets and putting the actual calculation in
the asm code or a header.

This belongs in asm_offsets.c.  Just move the asm_offsets_64.c version
there and call it a day.
