:matt, how do you feel about this?

    It's a bug in our inline assembly.  %sil is not an AMD64 register per
    say, it's simply GCC trying to access the 'low byte' of the %si
    register.  This is only legal to do on %ax, %bx, %cx, or %dx.  So 
    FreeBSD's solution is the correct one.

    I'll commit a fix once I check compatibility with some other things
    FreeBSD has done in 5.x that I might want to also use.
