I think it's acceptable even without the #ifdef. Forcing registers
using the a/b/c/d/S/D constraints takes away some freedom from the
compiler, but using two "r" registers is going to give as good assembly
as anything else. Most callers of __vmcs_readl call it either at the
beginning or at the end of a function, where there aren't many live
registers anyway.
