Subject: [PATCH v3] hwmon: (dell-smm) Improve assembly code

The new assembly code works on both 32 bit and 64 bit
cpus and allows for more compiler optimisations by not
requiring smm_regs to be packed. Since clang runs out
of registers on 32 bit x86 when using CC_OUT, we need
to execute "setc" ourself.
Also modify the debug message so we can still see
the result (eax) when the carry flag was set.

Tested with 32 bit and 64 bit kernels on a Dell Inspiron 3505.

Changes in v3:
- make carry an unsigned char
- use "+a", ... for output registers
- drop "cc" from clobbered list

Changes in v2:
- fix clang running out of registers on 32 bit x86
- modify debug message
