On my AMD 3800 X2 (2000MHz) ULi M1697 2.6.24-rc5 i get:

It is not constant but variations are not significant afaics


It looks as though this hardware does not have a port 0x80
and its access is trapped by the hardware with a long time-out!
This may be the reason when the _p was called "harmful" on this
platform!

I'm not sure the "rules" for port access allow for this kind of
behavior. This design may be defective, needing to be brought
to the attention of the vendor. A decent vendor would update
a FPGA and provide code to burn a new BIOS.

I'm afraid it's just the test that is "defective" as 64-bit code. For some reason "=A" doesn't mean edx:eax on amd64 even though it's a useful register pair to be able to name there as well. Didn't catch that being without amd64 machines myself.

Oh well. gcc -m32 fixes it...
