'X' turns into "x" if gcc wants to use indexed addressing mode, or
nothing if gcc wants to use base + offset mode.

I agree that the gcc documentation of the details of inline assembly
for each specific architecture is woeful.  I have found it useful in
the past to get hold of the gcc source code and look in rs6000.md for
examples of what can be done.
