Neat. Worth looking at for future, then.

The compiler is well within its rights to spill/restore/copy/shuffle
registers or modify memory between the two asm blocks (which it's liable
to do that when optimizing this after a few layers of inlining), and
skipping that would cause all sorts of undefined behaviour.

It's akin to trying to do an asm goto without the compiler supporting
asm goto.

This would probably happen to work in the common case, but it'd cause
nightmarish bugs in others...

Thanks,
Mark.
