in plan9 assembler, AX is like EAX (or RAX in 64bit mode) in intel assembler.
the operand size is specified by the instruction like MOVB, MOVW, MOVL and MOVQ.

in the MOVB c+4(FP), AX case, it would load a byte, zero extend it to
32bit and store it in AX.

and yes, the manpage should to be fixed in this case. :)
