That was stupid of me, I updated the scratch register operand in the
instruction 2 before the one at issue and forgot to update the operand
for the register in question, breaking the swap.

I'll use .set directives to give these more descriptive names to avoid
such a mistake.

.set tmp0w %di

then use tmp0w everywhere. I will give names to the remaining
register operands, too.

Off thread, can you show me how to run the kunit tests, please?

Will send a v3 shortly.
