Yes, but wouldn't it be much better to avoid code like the following, which may also be wrong (in terms of speed)?

#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT  // or maybe CONFIG_X86_64?
#define fast_u32 u64
#else
#define fast_u32 u32
#endif

How about using just unsigned long instead?

unsigned long happens to coincide with uint_fast32_t for x86 and x86-64, but there's no guarantee that it will on other architectures. And, at least in theory, long may even provide less than 32 bits.
