Subject: [PATCH] x86, vm86: fix VM86 syscalls: use asmlinkage calling convention

This might solve the issue of the red grass in 'civilization I' under xdosemu. Commit
49cb25e9290 x86: 'get rid of pt_regs argument in vm86/vm86old' got rid of the pt_regs
stub for sys_vm86old and sys_vm86. The functions were, however, not changed to use the
asmlinkage calling convention.
