By using this:
   mov  DWord ptr TCPUIDData ([edi]).r_eax,eax

As far as I can tell from the manuals posted at http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/ 
, the fact that Delphi accepts your code is a bug in Delphi. Your  
original instruction would mean that you type cast the register "edi"  
to TCPUIDData, which does not make sense.

Still, this Delphi incompatibility has been fixed recently in FPC, so  
both ways will work in 2.4.0: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=9327
