Merge local branch 'x86-codegen'
Merge trivial x86 code generation annoyances - Introduce helper macros for clang asm input problems - use said macros to improve trivially stupid code generation issues in bitops and array_index_mask_nospec - also improve codegen with 32-bit array index comparisons None of these really matter, but I look at code generation and profiles fairly regularly, and these misfeatures caused the generated code to look really odd and distract from the real issues. * branch 'x86-codegen' of local tree: x86: improve bitop code generation with clang x86: improve array_index_mask_nospec() code generation clang: work around asm input constraint problems
