Personally, I disagree with this.

Manuals such as See Mips Run document rol/ror to be 32-bit, and add
drol/dror macros to do 64-bit rotates.  (SMR pages 188-189, 196.)

Further, if you redefine rol/ror to be 64-bit on machines with 64-bit
GPRs... well, how do you do 32-bit rotates on those machines?
