GCC can generate better code around descriptor update and access functions when
there is not an explicit "eax" register constraint.
Testing: You won't boot if this is messed up, since the TSS descriptor will be
corrupted. Verified the assembler and booted.
Diffs-against: patch-2.6.13-rc4 + cpu-inline-cleanup + dt-inline-cleanup
