Subject: x86/asm: Add _ASM_ARG* constants for argument registers to <asm/asm.h>
From: H. Peter Anvin <[email protected]>
commit 0e2e160033283e20f688d8bad5b89460cc5bfcc4 upstream.
i386 and x86-64 uses different registers for arguments; make them
available so we don't have to #ifdef in the actual code.
Native size and specified size (q, l, w, b) versions are provided.
