Erk... Can we get these into asm-offsets?

Actually, is it possible to move these to a header somewhere? In the
paravirt_ops patches I used the names CLI and STI (copied from the VMI
patches), but didn't allow them to clobber any regs. They're defined in
asm-i386/paravirt.h.

If we want to allow them to clobber %esi, then your names are probably
better, but we should clobber %esi in the !CONFIG_XEN case too if
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL.
