Use "addr32 movw (acpi_pm1a_cnt), %dx" instead of "mov
(acpi_pm1a_cnt), %dx".

That said, having the smi handler read from the f-segment probably
isn't the best thing to do (though it should work).  Better would be
to make a variable between smm_code_start/end and copy the value in as
part of the smm init, though admittedly that is a bit more
complicated.
