Why? It is an asm wrapper for a special instruction.

Your #319433 doc says
"ENQCMDS — Enqueue Command Supervisor"
Now *how* that enqueueing is done you can explain in the comment below.

to be retried and ZF=0 means success, as the doc says. And in good UNIX
tradition, 0 means usually success and !0 failure.
So why are you flipping that?

No need for those last two chars.
