GCC 4.3 and later do the right thing with the plain C code. Earlier
versions in 32-bit mode generate one extra instruction, needlessly
zeroing what would be the high half of the shifted value. At least
two gcc configurations miscompile the inline asm in some situations.
In 64-bit mode, all gcc versions generate imul r64, r64 followed by
shr. On Intel i7 and later, this imul is faster 32-bit mul. On
older Intel and all AMD, it is slightly slower. On Atom it is much
slower.
Considering where the FASTDIV macro is used, any overall negative
performance impact of this change should be negligible. If anyone
cares, they should file a bug against gcc and get the instruction
selection fixed.

It appears that something goes wrong in old nasm versions when the
%+ operator is used in the last argument of a macro invocation and
this argument is tested with %ifdef within the macro. This patch
rearranges the macro arguments such that the %+ operator is never
used in the last argument.
nasm does not support 'CPU foonop' directives. This adds a configure
test for the directive and uses it only if supported.

Refactoring mmx2/mmxext YASM code with cpuflags will force renames.
So switching to a consistent naming scheme beforehand is sensible.
The name "mmxext" is more official and widespread and also the name
of the CPU flag, as reported e.g. by the Linux kernel.
Currently there is a wild mix of 3dn2/3dnow2/3dnowext. Switching to
"3dnowext", which is a more common name of the CPU flag, as reported
e.g. by the Linux kernel, unifies this.
This allows us to unconditionally set the cglobal num_args
parameter to a bigger value, thus making writing yasm code
even easier than before.

This adds macros for accessing the EFLAGS register and uses
these instead of coding the entire check in inline asm.

This adds whitespace around operators, aligns line continuation
backslashes, and breaks long lines. Also fixes an ifdef halfway
through a statement. The one line of duplication this saved is
not worth the ugliness.

This sets __OUTPUT_FORMAT__ to win64 instead of win32, even though both
(through -m amd64) produce 64-bit binary code.

Functions using INIT_MMX may still access XMM registers through direct
means (xmm0-15). Therefore, they still need to be marked for clobber
so they can be properly saved/restored.

This will be useful to test more aggressively for failures to mark XMM
registers as clobbered in Win64 builds, and prevent regressions thereof.
Based on a patch by Ramiro Polla <ramiro.polla@gmail.com>
Firstly, this test never worked as intended, always reporting
success. Secondly, bswap is available from 486 onward and can
thus be assumed present.
