* For 128-bit read/write functions I take suffix 'o', which means read/write
the octet of bytes. Is this name OK?

Can't think of anything better. It's not an octet though, but 16 bytes
('q' is for quadword, meaning four 16-bit words in Intel terminology).

It's apparently follows Intel's terminology by implying "word", so, "octetword".
