The MSVC assembly has always been separate, because the two compilers
have incompatible inline assembly syntax. As I understand the
proposal, only the dec/x86_vc files would be converted to intrinsics.
This is expected to generate slower code, but avoid the MSVC code
generation bug. GCC output would be unchanged.
