Summary

ABI already guarantees the direction is forward. Note this does not take care of i386-specific cld's.

Why did you left i386 out ?

I do not think it needs cld's as well, both ABI and actual exception/interrupt entry code clear IF.D both on i386 and amd64.

i386 has a lot of cld already and I have no means to test the removal. I can plug them from the places modified by this patch though.
