Joerg Roedel 6041b57c6c i386: work around miscompilation of alternatives code
A recent change makes my Dell 1501 hang on boot.  It's an AMD MK-36.  I use
an x86_64 kernel.  It is 100% reproducible.

I debugged this problem a bit and my compiler[1]interprets the =A constraint
as %rax instead of %edx:%eax on x86_64 which causes the problem.  The appended
patch provides a workaround for this and fixed the hang on my machine.

[1] gcc version 4.1.3 20070429 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-5)

*
* SMP alternatives use the same data structures as the other
* alternatives and the X86_FEATURE_UP flag to indicate the case of a
* UP system running a SMP kernel. The existing apply_alternatives()
* works fine for patching a SMP kernel for UP.
*
* The SMP alternative tables can be kept after boot and contain both
* UP and SMP versions of the instructions to allow switching back to
* SMP at runtime, when hotplugging in a new CPU, which is especially
* useful in virtualized environments.
*
* The very common lock prefix is handled as special case in a
* separate table which is a pure address list without replacement ptr
* and size information. That keeps the table sizes small.
