Like noted in a private mail to you earlier I wouldn't use both
__ICC (which corresponds to "__INTEL_COMPILER && __i386__") and
__INTEL_COMPILER in preprocessor directives but stick with
__INTEL_COMPILER only. In all the places where the patch uses
__ICC it's either implicitly clear that the code is i386-specific
(because of the file location etc.) or isn't relevant (because
ECC, which AFAIK is the sole other Intel Compiler also defining
__INTEL_COMPILER, understands the same code etc.).
I think in the long term using both, __ICC and __INTEL_COMPILER,
will just cause confusion and the current scheme won't be adhered.
