Yeah it is, for example, x86 has 'arch_' functions defined in its
architecture headers[0] and at the same time uses generic
instrumented '__' helpers[1], so on x86 both underscored and 'arch_'
are defined and they are not the same.
Same with those sparc32 triple-underscored, sparc32 at the same time
uses generic non-instrumented, so it has underscored, 'arch_' and
triple-underscored.
In general, bitops are overloaded with tons of prefixes already :)
I'm not really glad that I introduced one more level, but not that
we have many options here.
