Using a 32-bit constant for this marker allows it to be loaded with
two ALU instructions, like 32-bit. This avoids a TOC entry and a
TOC load that depends on the r2 value that has just been loaded from
the PACA.

This changes the value for 32-bit as well, so both have the same
value in the low 4 bytes and 64-bit has 0xffffffff in the top bytes.
