Well, there is no size difference within measurable limits (an
x86-64-allyesconfig build is 60(!) bytes larger with 2^31 and the incl,
but that's well within the good luck/bad luck with alignments threshold...)

As such, I'd personally prefer to leave it with 1:31:31:1 split, if
nothing else because it reads a bit tidier to me, despite the minor wart
for the incl trick.
