There are inline i386 instructions in a machine-independent header; is this
intentional? Also the asm_ones32() code seems to exist only for i386.

Without support for other platforms, and some cleanup, I don't think that
the patch can be committed as is, sadly.

I do like the general idea of rewriting in_cksum() to take advantage of
branch prediction logic in modern microprocessors, however.
