x86: Replace assembly access_ok() with a C variant
It turns out that the assembly variant doesn't actually produce that good code, presumably partly because it creates a long dependency chain with no scheduling, and partly because we cannot get a flags result out of gcc (which could be fixed with asm goto, but it turns out not to be worth it.) The C code allows gcc to schedule and generate multiple (easily predictable) branches, and as a side benefit we can really optimize the case where the size is constant.
