Yes.. remember that we have:
stime * rl + stime * rh * 2^32
How we get this 96bit value but our two 64bit values overlap:
| w3 | w2 | w1 | w0 |
+----+----+----+----+
| lo |
| hi |
So what I do is I add the low word of hi to lo and shift the high word
of hi to get:
| hi | lo |
Two non-overlapping 64bit values where the high word of hi is always 0.

I think you're very right about that.. got my head twisted by staring
at this stuff too long.
