    x86/asm/64: Use 32-bit XOR to zero registers · a7bea830
    Jan Beulich authored
    Some Intel CPUs don't recognize 64-bit XORs as zeroing idioms. Zeroing
    idioms don't require execution bandwidth, as they're being taken care
    of in the frontend (through register renaming). Use 32-bit XORs instead.
