Does LLVM support that width good code gen? Intel/AMD have some
instructions intended for higher precision math
([ADX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_ADX),
[MULX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_Bit_manipulation_instruction_set#BMI2)). They also have some instructions meant to be used for crypto, e.g. [CLMUL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLMUL_instruction_set).
