Looks like we're no longer using "=a" and "0" constraints.  Looking
these up for reference for other reviewers:

"0" [0]:
Input constraints can also be digits (for example, "0"). This
indicates that the specified input must be in the same place as the
output constraint at the (zero-based) index in the output constraint
list. When using asmSymbolicName syntax for the output operands, you
may use these names (enclosed in brackets ‘[]’) instead of digits.
[0] https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Extended-Asm.html#Extended-Asm

"+" [1]:
Means that this operand is both read and written by the instruction.
[1] https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Modifiers.html#Modifiers

"=" [1]:
Means that this operand is written to by this instruction: the
previous value is discarded and replaced by new data.

So this looks like a nice simplification.
