> This improvement targets x86 `(Macro)Assembler`. We are mostly cleaning up `LP64` predicated code blocks, and a bit of related code.
> 
> It is enticing to remove all `*ptr` methods, and rename all uses from `*ptr` to `*q`, but that turns out to be very intrusive. That is left for a future RFE, if we ever consider doing it.
> 
> Additional testing:
>  - [x] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `all`
