This patch solves the problem by adding a new LOCK_PREFIX_ALTERNATIVE_PATCH macro that only records the lock prefix location but does not emit the prefix. The user of this macro can then start any alternative sequence with "lock" and have it UP/SMP patched. To make this work, the UP/SMP alternative code is changed to do the lock/DS prefix switching only if the byte actually contains a lock or DS prefix. Thus, if an alternative without the "lock" is selected, it will now do nothing instead of clobbering the code.
