[PATCH] i386: Abstract sensitive instructions
Abstract sensitive instructions in assembler code, replacing them with macros
(which currently are #defined to the native versions). We use long names:
assembler is case-insensitive, so if something goes wrong and macros do not
expand, it would assemble anyway.
Resulting object files are exactly the same as before.
