3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <[email protected]>

commit 2ca052a3710fac208eee690faefdeb8bbd4586a1 upstream.

x86-64 can access the low half of any register, but i386 can only do
it with a subset of registers.  'r' causes compilation failures on i386,
but 'q' expresses the constraint properly.
