It works, and I guess doing it this way is acceptable as it's exactly 
what's done for current in asm/current.h with register r2.

Now I (still) get:

	sp = get_sp() & (THREAD_SIZE - 1);
  b9c:	54 24 04 fe 	clrlwi  r4,r1,19
	if (unlikely(sp < 2048)) {
  ba4:	2f 84 07 ff 	cmpwi   cr7,r4,2047





Allthough GCC 8.1 what doing exactly the same with the form CLANG don't 
like:

	register unsigned long r1 asm("r1");
	long sp = r1 & (THREAD_SIZE - 1);
  b84:	54 24 04 fe 	clrlwi  r4,r1,19
	if (unlikely(sp < 2048)) {
  b8c:	2f 84 07 ff 	cmpwi   cr7,r4,2047
