I just found out why I can't clean this up.

The assembler (gas) we use doesn't support ANSI C style token pasting. 
Changing this busted builds of locore.S.

One could (probably quite reasonably) suggest that maybe the assembler
language should be converted to support the ANSI token pasting rules,
but I imagine there may be conflicts with prior uses  of the "#"
character in certain assembly languages.

Anyway, I withdraw the original suggestion.  Too bad we have to carry
that baggage around, though.
