Prepare the SETcc fastop stuff for when RET can be larger still. The tricky bit here is that the expressions should not only be constant C expressions, but also absolute GAS expressions. This means no ?: and 'true' is ~0. Also ensure em_setcc() has the same alignment as the actual FOP_SETCC() ops, this ensures there cannot be an alignment hole between em_setcc() and the first op. Additionally, add a .skip directive to the FOP_SETCC() macro to fill any remaining space with INT3 traps; however the primary purpose of this directive is to generate AS warnings when the remaining space goes negative. Which is a very good indication the alignment magic went side-ways.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
