Subject: [15/45] x86: fix csum_ipv6_magic asm memory clobber

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@...-lyon.org>

commit 392d814daf460a9564d29b2cebc51e1ea34e0504 upstream.

Just like ip_fast_csum, the assembly snippet in csum_ipv6_magic needs a
memory clobber, as it is only passed the address of the buffer, not a
memory reference to the buffer itself.

This caused failures in Hurd's pfinetv4 when we tried to compile it with
gcc-4.3 (bogus checksums).
