x86: prevent binutils from being "smart" and generating NOPLs for us



binutils, contrary to documented behaviour, will generate long NOPs (a
P6-or-higher instruction which is broken on at least some VIA chips,
Virtual PC/Virtual Server, and some versions of Qemu) depending on the
-mtune= option, which is not supposed to change architectural
behaviour.

Pass an explicit override to the assembler, in case ends up passing
the -mtune= parameter to gas (gcc 4.3.0 does not appear to.)
