Cool, I'd find this useful. Though, is there any reason we don't do this
more generally for all architectures?

Generally, it's best to avoid #ifdefs inside functions, it's even
counter-indicated in the style guide[1].

I personally find these inline defines rather ugly. Maybe it would be
better to have a helper function that prints a single line. Also seems
like MLK and MLK_ROUNDUP could be the same assuming the entries in MLK
are aligned...
