Subject: [PATCH 2/2] instrumentation.h: Avoid using inline asm operand
 modifiers

The expansion of instrumentation_begin/instrumentation_end on s390 will
result in a compiler error if the __COUNTER__ value is high enough.
For example with "i" (154) the "%c0" operand of annotate_reachable
will be expanded to -102:

        -102:
        .pushsection .discard.instr_begin
        .long -102b - .
        .popsection

This is a quirk of the gcc backend for s390, it interprets the %c0
as a signed byte value. Avoid using operand modifiers in this case
by simply converting __COUNTER__ to string, with the same result,
but in an arch assembler independent way.
