Yes, you're quite obviously right. Stefano, we should at least remove all
the commented out Linux code (most of which is CFI_* stack unwinding
directives) and probably expand out many of the macros, most of which are
used only once anyway. Plus rename/reorg where possible in line with
x86_32.S. That's maybe an hour's work at most and I'd be comfortable
claiming copyright on the result, or at least I'm certain it would be as
clean as x86_32.S at that point (Which was never clean-room rewritten).
