[MPlayer-dev-eng] cpuid vs 386 vs 486

[David Holm]

Ok, this is odd since pushfd is defined in the intel manual ;(. I'm no
ia32 guru so I cannot give more advice here. But according to my
manual(s) the right way to do it is to use pushfd. Personally I prefer
using nasm ;) at least it creates somewhat portable asm and you won't
have to worry about the underlying assembler called by the C compiler
not supporting certain mnemonics.
(You did type it in with the suffix \n\t right?)
