The generic C alternative:
	return (temp64 + ror64(temp64, 32)) >> 32;
is the same number of instructions but might get
better scheduling.

The C version of csum_fold() from arc/include/asm/checksum.h
is also better than the x86 asm version.
(And also pretty much all the other architecture dependant
copies.)
