Originally we were using LLVM's Integrated Assembler (IA), which didn't 
allow for that alias if I remember correctly. However, now we're using 
gas because IA only supports Unified Assembly Language grammar, and not 
the extensions that are common in the kernel code.

I can resubmit using that alias (after the rest of the discussion).
