Subject: RE: [WATCHDOG] v2.6.26 hpwdt.c fixes

Mr. Torvalds, your changes to my inline assembly code worked fine without the -O flag for both 32 and 64 bit on ProLiant hardware. Hopefully the following will be acceptable.


Thanks for the input.


Tom

Something like the following.

AGAIN! This is totally untested. It's meant as an *example* of how to use
inline asm properly, not meant to necessarily work or do the right thing.
It may be buggy as hell, for all I know. And there are probably better
ways to do this.

(This one does just the 64-bit version, because it's a bit easier: the
32-bit version needs to probably do some of the loading and storing of
registers manually in the inline asm just to avoid running out of them,
since the register pressure is worse).
