From: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com>
Move the code to do the dynamic check to the altinstr_aux section so that it is discarded after alternatives have run and a static branch has been chosen.
This way we're changing the dynamic branch from C code to assembly, which makes it *substantially* smaller while avoiding a completely unnecessary call to an out of line function.
Boris: change it to do TESTB, as hpa suggests.
