Re: cltq.

I do not see this in my manual. So a google search turned up:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-01/msg00613.html, which says it's the
same as the cdqe instruction.

Perhaps I can anticipate your next question. cdqe converts the
doubleword in eax to a quadword in rax with the same numerical value.
