XORL %0,%0 is equivalent to XORQ %0,%0 as both will zero the entire register. Use XORL %0,%0 for all operand sizes to avoid REX prefix byte when legacy registers are used and to avoid size prefix byte when 16bit registers are used. Zeroing the full register is OK in this use case. As a result, the size of the .fixup section decreases by 20 bytes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
