Clang is pickier than GCC for the register size in asm statement. It
expects the register size to match the value size.

The asm statement expects a 32-bit (resp. 64-bit) value on Arm32
(resp. Arm64) whereas the value is a boolean (Clang consider to be
32-bit).

It would be possible to impose 32-bit register for both architecture
but this require the code to use __OP32. However, it does not really
improve the assembly generated. Instead, replace switch the variable
to use register_t.

You are aware that unlikley(), deliberately, has an embedded !! ?

include/xen/compiler.h:11:#define unlikely(x)   __builtin_expect(!!(x),0)

I forgot it, sorry about that :/. Stefano are you happy if I revert to v1?
