    Replace ASM signed tests with unsigned · 355a5d03

    ge, lt, gt and le condition codes in assembly provide a signed test
    whereas hs, lo, hi and ls provide the unsigned counterpart. Signed tests
    should only be used when strictly necessary, as using them on logically
    unsigned values can lead to inverting the test for high enough values.
    All offsets, addresses and usually counters are actually unsigned
    values, and should be tested as such.
    
    Replace the occurrences of signed condition codes where it was
    unnecessary by an unsigned test as the unsigned tests allow the full
    range of unsigned values to be used without inverting the result with
    some large operands.
