No, the latter two are identical everywhere, and the others are the
same modulo absolute vs relative.

The issue is that the struct definition is per-arch so the accessors
should be as well. Perhaps I should introduce two variants two
asm-generic, similar to how we have different flavors of unaligned
accessors.
