If that works, it is my preference. But needs testing, also with GCC, and with
both 44-bit and 46-bit AS.
BTW, I wonder why clang generates larger and slower code with ADD instead of
OR, at least gcc seems to generate generally better code with ADD, plus on
i?86/x86_64 it even has better HW support for that (for ADD can use both
add{l,q} and leal, allowing RA to generate better code). GCC for asan
generates always ADD, on all architectures, right now.
