I don't think having yet more macros for start and end of functions would 
be an improvement; it seems clearly better for functions to use END where 
possible, in particular, and that's in both sys/asm.h and sysdep.h (and 
while the definitions are such that the one in sysdep.h would take 
precedence if both are included, having different definitions of the same 
macro in those two headers would seem just too confusing).
