Subject: kbuild: simpler generation of assembly constants

gcc doesn't really look inside "asm" statements and more or less directly emits it into assembly. So pretend "#define" is CPU instruction.

Also, use C++ comment to block whatever garbage is put at the end of the line by compiler.

PATCH v3 1/1 kbuild: simpler generation of assembly constants

gcc doesn't really look inside "asm" statements and more or less directly emits it into assembly. So pretend "#define" is CPU instruction.

C++ comment can't be used because sparc assembler doesn't understand it.

This one compiles on Sparc and UML.
