this wouldn't build with CONFIG_SMP=n -- you forgot the input param here.
Yep, and I've noticed meanwhile that it becomes quite messy if you try to do that with asm instructions which have both input and output parameters. One way around that would be to use named parameters in the inline assembler. Problem with that is that only gcc >= 3.1 understands those and at the moment the minimun requited compiler for the kernel still is gcc 2.95.3 according to Documentation/Changes ...
Is it an option to raise the required gcc version to 3.x, given that even Debian/stable ships with gcc 3.3 these days?
