Asking silly questions because I don't stand a chance of understanding either 
the code or the tests...

In the x86-64 ABI, an ordinary 16-byte `struct` would be passed in `rdi/rsi` 
and returned in `rdx/rax`. An ordinary 17-byte `struct` would be passed by 
hidden reference and returned by hidden reference.

Is your intent here that `_ExtInt` will follow the same convention, i.e., 
`_ExtInt(128)` will be passed in `rdi/rsi` and returned in `rdx/rax`? and 
`_ExtInt(129)` will be passed and returned by hidden reference?

Clang trunk currently passes `_ExtInt(256)` in `rdi/rsi/rdx/rcx/r8/r9/stack` as 
if it were a series of `uint64_t`s. (I hadn't noticed until now.) That's kind 
of cute. Is the current PR motivated by performance concerns with the 
multi-`uint64_t` approach, or just trying to be consistent with the `struct` 
rules?
