Disclaimer: I know almost nothing about assembly.
I know that OMPI's asm is a carefully crafted set of assembly that works across
a broad range of compilers. So what might not be "quite right" for one
compiler may actually be there because another compiler needs it.
That being said, if the changes above are for correctness, not
neatness/style/etc., I can't speak for that...
