They _are_ relicts of the 60's. It's just that the C standard hasn't ever
had the reason to remove them.
And if you think "register" variables are outdated, please remove the
CONFIG_REGPARM option from the Kernel source.
That does something totally different. And doesn't use "register" at all.
Pass the toke, you've been hogging the drugs for way too long.

But this makes, like "register", direct use of processor registers (it stores int arguments in eax, ebx, etc.).
