The same amount of work would be required, whichever
is chosen as the new backend.

Design a layer manipulation internal API and replace
direct bit poking with calls to the new functions
(tedious work, but not complex).

Testing will be needed to see if manual inlining
(macros) would be beneficial or if letting the
compilers deal with that is enough.
