And this is why I didn't make a change right away, back when noticing the
duplication: Arch-agnostic really means ...

... to avoid .long [1]. There's no arch-independent aspect guaranteeing
that what .long emits matches "unsigned int" as used e.g. in the
declaration of xen_config_data_size. The arch-agnostic directives are
.dc.l and friends. Sadly Clang looks to support this only starting with
version 4.

Nevertheless, seeing that Andrew ack-ed the change already, it's perhaps
good enough for the moment. If an obscure port appeared, the further
abstraction could be taken care of by them.

[1] Note how in gas doc .long refers to .int, .int says "32-bit", just
to then have a special case of H8/300 emitting 16-bit values. Things
must have been confusing enough for someone to come and add .dc.?.
