The current logic to split the 64-bit argument into its 32-bit halves is byte-order specific and a bit clunky. Use a union instead which is easier to read and works in all cases. GCC still generates the same machine code. While at it, rename the arguments of the __memset64() prototype to actually reflect their semantics.
