I'm not big on the idea of scripts massaging code - especially when
they do something unintended. It's easier to run a periodic find
script that greps for use of such instructions, if new cases
are introduced. Anyways, there were really only a few cases where
pushf/popf would have even mattered. Some stuff was just
EFLAGS.{ID/AC} identification. I greatly prefer the #define mods.
The new kernel source was quite clean of this stuff, and did a great
job centrailizing stuff in include/asm-i386.
