Ok, let's move forward with this.

I took a look at the first three patches and compared the expanded
output for the existing macros, to make sure we (hopefully) don't
break anything else.

It seems OK, I only noticed a removed newline. Was that intentional?
There was also a bad parameter name, but that was not hurting anything
since it was unused.

(For the x86 one could be closer removing a couple spaces, but it
should not matter and other x86 files format it that way, so I didn't
change it. I also noticed unexpected spaces used for aligning the
macro, but it turned out it was in the original already, so I left it
also unchanged.)

Then I found a few more bits on the last patch.

Tomo, could you please double-check you are OK with all the changes,
and please run the tests you did back then on `rust-next` again for
all arches, given it has been a while since you posted it (plus I did
a few changes on top, after all)? I would appreciate it, thanks in
advance!

To be clear, I didn't re-check every single thing/combination, but
hopefully what I caught helps. Since there are no users anyway (of the
last patch) right now, it should be fairly safe.

Applied to `rust-next` -- thanks everyone!

    [ Fixed typo in macro parameter name. - Miguel ]

    [ Remove ending newline in `ARCH_WARN_ASM` content to be closer to the
      original. - Miguel ]

    [ Avoid evaluating the condition twice (a good idea in general,
      but it also matches the C side). Simplify with `as_char_ptr()`
      to avoid a cast. Cast to `ffi` integer types for
      `warn_slowpath_fmt`. Avoid cast for `null()`. - Miguel ]

Cheers,
Miguel
