Improve handle_external_interrupt_irqoff inline assembly in several ways:
- use "re" operand constraint instead of "i" and remove
  unneeded %c operand modifiers and "$" prefixes
- use %rsp instead of _ASM_SP, since we are in CONFIG_X86_64 part
- use $-16 immediate to align %rsp
- remove unneeded use of __ASM_SIZE macro
- define "ss" named operand only for X86_64

The patch introduces no functional changes.

Hmm, for handcoded assembly I would argue that the switch from "i" to "re"
is a functional change of sorts.  The switch also needs explicit
justification to explain why it's correct/desirable.  Maybe make it a
separate patch?

I think this would be a good idea. So, in this patch the first point should read

"- remove unneeded %c operand modifiers and "$" prefixes"

The add-on patch will then explain that PUSH can only handle signed
32bit immediates and change "i" to "re".

Is this what you had in mind?

Thanks,
Uros.

Yep, exactly.
