    Subject[PATCH] [7/98] i8k: Tell gcc that *regs gets clobbered
    Date
    2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------
    From: Jim Bos <jim876@xs4all.nl>

    [ upstream commit 6b4e81db2552bad04100e7d5ddeed7e848f53b48 ]

    More recent GCC caused the i8k driver to stop working, on Slackware
    compiler was upgraded from gcc-4.4.4 to gcc-4.5.1 after which it didn't
    work anymore, meaning the driver didn't load or gave total nonsensical
    output.

    As it turned out the asm(..) statement forgot to mention it modifies the
    *regs variable.

    Credits to Andi Kleen and Andreas Schwab for providing the fix.
