Subject: [PATCH v10 01/20] x86/asm: Frame pointer macro cleanup

The asm macros for setting up and restoring the frame pointer aren't
currently being used.  However, they will be needed soon to help asm
functions to comply with stackvalidate.

Rename FRAME/ENDFRAME to FRAME_BEGIN/FRAME_END for more symmetry.  Also
make the code more readable and improve the comments.
