Yeah, the separated pushq_cfi and pushl_cfi macros aren't really
necessary. I'm guessing they were made separate in order to have a
consistent naming interface with movq_cfi and movl_cfi.

I'm not sure about which way is better. But I can replace them with new
push_cfi and pop_cfi macros if you like.
