I understand building a.out kernels is no longer supported, therefore I'd like to remove the name-mangling macros in i386/include/asnames.h, which were used in the transition. The names used in assembly files need to have the leading underscore removed, so they use the real elf symbols instead of the macros. This file is also used to provide accessors for per-cpu variables used from assembly language, which may change with SMPng; not having the other macros there too will make things easier.
