Hi Paul,

This patch set fixes minor issues I noticed while reading your
recent updates.

Apart from the changes, I'd like you to mention in the answer to
Quick Quiz 9.43 that modern Intel CPUs don't execute x86_64
instructions directly, but decode them into uOPs (via MOP) and
keep them in a uOP cache [1].
So the execution cycle is not necessarily corresponds to instruction
count, but heavily depends on the behavior of the microarch, which
is not predictable without actually running the code.

        Thanks, Akira
