--- Comment #2 from H. Peter Anvin <hpa at zytor dot com> ---
It is much cleaner to have it in C. We converted the assembly code to C back
in 2007 and it has been much easier to maintain ever since. It works fine,
thankyouverymuch; it isn't *optimal* 16-bit code, but it is real and valid
16-bit code and we use it as such.
Sure, optimization would be nice. Do we care? Not a lot.
