I see.  Guess we can proceed with what you have, and then maybe replace
the macros with templates?  Here's how it might look like.  I confirmed that
i386-tdep.o and rs6000-tdep.o build with this, and confirmed that the
x86 version works at least with a version of the patch that kept
the template inside i386-tdep.c only.

Without C++11, we have to remove the "constexpr", and we can't
make the arrays static nor const -- only extern arrays can be
used as non-type parameters.  So with C++03 that'd be a little
regression compared to the macros.  C++11 wins here too.  :-)

Another option would be to replace the two gdbarch methods with
a single one that returns an object that itself has the two
conversion methods.  Those methods in the new object would have
to be virtual, so it'd end up being more hops at run time.
