Subject: [PATCH 2/8] i386: bitops: Rectify bogus "Ir" constraints

From: Satyam Sharma <ssatyam@....iitk.ac.in>

[2/8] i386: bitops: Rectify bogus "Ir" constraints

The "I" constraint (on the i386 platform) is used to restrict constants to
the 0..31 range, for use with instructions that must deal with bit numbers.

However:
* The "I" constraint modifier is applicable only to immediate-value operands,
  and combining it with "r" is bogus.
* gcc will just ignore "I" if we specify "Ir" anyway and treat it same as "r".
* Bitops in Linux allow @nr to be arbitrarily large anyway, so we don't want
  to restrict ourselves to @nr < 32 in the first place.

So just kill the bogus "I" constraint modifier.
