[PATCH] i386: inline assembler: cleanup and encapsulate descriptor and task register management

i386 inline assembler cleanup.

This change encapsulates descriptor and task register management.  Also,
it is possible to improve assembler generation in two cases; savesegment
may store the value in a register instead of a memory location, which
allows GCC to optimize stack variables into registers, and MOV MEM, SEG
is always a 16-bit write to memory, making the casting in math-emu
unnecessary.
