x86: add _AT() macro to conditionally cast

code, but not when used in assembler.

  * C code.  Therefore we cannot annotate them always with
  * 'UL' and other type specifiers unilaterally.  We
  * use the following macros to deal with this.
+ *
+ * Similarly, _AT() will cast an expression with a type in C, but
+ * leave it unchanged in asm.
