Hi Chuck,

	Agreed: certainly eax should be mentioned.  GET_CR0_INTO_EAX?  MOV is a
bit close to describing how it's happening (which, on paravirt it might
not be) so it might lead the reader to unwarranted assumptions.

Abstract sensitive instructions in assembler code, replacing them with
macros (which currently are #defined to the native versions).  We use
long names: assembler is case-insensitive, so if something goes wrong
and macros do not expand, it would assemble anyway.

Resulting object files are exactly the same as before.
