Subject: [PATCH] x86: percpu_to_op() misses memory and flags clobbers

While playing with new percpu_{read|write|add|sub} stuff in network tree,
I found x86 asm was a litle bit optimistic.

We need to tell gcc that percpu_{write|add|sub|or|xor} are modyfing
memory and possibly eflags. We could add another parameter to percpu_to_op()
to separate the plain "mov" case (not changing eflags),
but let keep it simple for the moment.
