Oops, I think that was a quilt unrefreshed patch. Sorry. I fixed
those before testing, but then still send out the old patch.

Here's the patch as intended for reference :/ Or Chris' incremental
is fine.
i386: Remove alternative_smp
The .fill causes miscompilations with some binutils version.
Instead just patch the lock prefix in the lock constructs. That is the
majority of the cost and should be good enough.
