Eh, that's what the "r" (...) does. As I understand it, GCC will have
the value inside the brackets loaded into a register (in this case,
%1 which can be any general register) when the execution path gets to
the assembler.

AIUI, the syntax is
asm(" /* assembler */ "
    : output
    : input
    : clobbers );
