Btw, out of curiosity, is %P being phased out?

I'm looking at

41cd2e1ee96e ("x86/asm: Use %c/%n instead of %P operand modifier in asm templates")

and yeah, %c is the generic one while %P is the x86-specific one but
phasing latter out is probably going to take a bunch of gcc releases...

Or is it something else entirely?

Thx.
