The patch looks correct, but I don't understand the gcc error message.
Are we sure this isn't a gcc 4.2 bug?

"g" appears to be equivalent to "rmi", if "i" is impossible, gcc is free
to use "r" or "m", no?

Accorgind to GCC devs. its not a bug (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29808), on comment #5 the problem described like;

"g" means "r"+"i" so the register allocator in the -O0 case is selecting "r" while in the optimize case is selecting "i"


That's a different bug. The gcc PR has an assembler error message, as expected, whereas the kvm miscompile has a compiler error, which I don't understand.

Anyhow, your patch is correct (because selecting "i" is indeed erroneous) so I'll apply it, but I'm worried that there's a gcc bug in there that we ought to report.
