Better as simply get_avr64(avr, VB, i);

s/64/32.

That said, it's probably better to treat this as 4 words, not 2 doublewords.

	for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
	    tcg_gen_ld_i32(tmp, cpu_env, avr_full_offset(VB) + i * 4);
	    tcg_gen_clzi_i32(tmp, tmp, 32);
	    tcg_gen_st_i32(tmp, cpu_env, avr_full_offset(VT) + i * 4);
	}
