Add asm-compat.h to x86 In assembly code and in gcc inline assembly, we need .long to express a "c long" type on i386 and a .quad to express the same on x86_64. Use macros similar to powerpc "PPC_LONG" to express those. Name chosen: ASM_LONG. (didn't feel like X86_LONG was required).
This is useful in inline assembly within code shared between 32 and 64 bits architectures in x86. More compatible assembly macros could be added in this header later when needed. I had to create this to implement a merged optimized immediate values header for x86.
