One that covers arm and arm64?  Where would it go?

If you mean one per arch, that's already the case on 64-bit (and you
complained in response to the write macro, hence my inferring that you wanted
read and write combined).  Two instances on 32-bit (of a fairly simple loop)
didn't seem enough to warrant using ugly macros, but I can if you want (with
the entire asm statement passed as a macro parameter).
