Functionally is the same and using this method, I can integrate all conditions in one line, so it takes less code.
I also checked the assembly code, and the compiler removes the check if it is Intel architecture, so performance remains the same.

Re x86_x32, you are right, probably I need to include it. Although, I just realized that it is not used in any other place.
Wonder if we should include it somewhere else? E.g. rte_hash_crc.h
