Although the intent is not made as clear in the header as it could be,
the ___asm() functions are not supposed to be used directly:
__opcode_thumb32_compose() will map to the correct thing based on
whether we are preprocessing assembler or C.

In particular, ___asm_opcode_thumb32_compose() will give you inefficient
swabbing if used directly in C.

ditto, this should be changed.
