At least openssl and international kernel patch use bswapl. Rejecting
this syntax causes compiling failure. On the other hand "bswapl %eax"
is no less legal than "pushl %eax" or "addl %eax,%ebx" allowed in 2.9.4
and if you disallow l suffix for bswap you should also do it for all the
instructions with 32-bit regs.
