Right, but the 'output' values aren't needed and get
discarded because the asm block in inside a static inline.

It could be a recipe just waiting to go wrong.

But I bet the actual problem is the output register
aliasing one of the inputs and then reading from very
low user addresses - I bet they don't fault on m68k.
