x86/alternatives: Add macro comments
... so that when one stares at the .s output, one can find her way around the resulting asm magic. With it, ALTERNATIVE looks like this now: # ALT: oldnstr 661: ... 662: # ALT: padding .skip ... 663: .pushsection .altinstructions,"a" ... .popsection .pushsection .altinstr_replacement, "ax" # ALT: replacement 1 6641: ... 6651: .popsection Merge __OLDINSTR() into OLDINSTR(), while at it. No functional changes. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: "H.
