I'd say kernel coding style is tabs of 8 chars...

You could do

asm(".pushsection .text\n\t"
".type real_start, @function\n\t"
".global real_start\n\t"
"real_start:\n\t"
#ifdef __x86_64__
"mov %rax, ax\n\t"
"mov %rbx, bx\n\t"
...

and align the opening "asm(" to the first tab...

Bah, whatever, I'm not that finicky to care enough.
