Can sizeof() be used in assembly?

Nevertheless, the use ~0ULL is not proper assembly, this broke initial
implementation using UL() / ULL().

indeed.

Ditto.

problem here seems actually because of the cast to the final type. My
previous impl was avoiding that, but was too verbose compared to this.

I will look at reverting this.

This breaks drm-tip on arm64 architecture:
