Hi David,

"rd %%asr14, %0" should work but does not due to bugs in assembler -
<https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2016-03/msg00302.html>, and
<https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2016-03/msg00303.html>. These bugs
were fixed in binutils 2.27 but older assemblers will cause kernel build
to fail. Using byte coded equivalent is the safest option.

%pmcdper is not an asr, rather a privileged register (pr23).

Thanks,
Khalid
