Subject: [PATCH] x86/asm: avoid mnemonics without type suffix

1c54d77 (x86: partial unification of asm-x86/bitops.h, 2008-01-30)
changed a bunch of btrl/btsl instructions to btr/bts, with the following
justification:

  The inline assembly for the bit operations has been changed to remove
  explicit sizing hints on the instructions, so the assembler will pick
  the appropriate instruction forms depending on the architecture and
  the context.

Unfortunately, GNU as does no such thing, and the AT&T syntax manual
[1] contains no references to any such inference.  As evidenced by the
following experiment, gas always disambiguates btr/bts to btrl/btsl.
Feed the following input to gas:

  btrl	$1, 0
  btr	$1, 0
  btsl	$1, 0
  bts	$1, 0

Check that btr matches btrl, and bts matches btsl in both cases:

  $ as --32 -a in.s
  $ as --64 -a in.s

To avoid giving readers the illusion of such an inference, and for
clarity, change btr/bts back to btrl/btsl.  Also, llvm-mc refuses to
disambiguate btr/bts automatically.

 We discussed this pretty extensively on LLVMDev, but I'm still not
 sure that I haven't missed something.
