Hi,

If I have:

inline unsigned int get_PLL_range(unsigned int range, unsigned int
         config)
{
unsigned int ret;

         /*
          * Turn r3 (range) into a rotate count for the selected range.
          * 0 -> 23, 1 -> 31
          */
         __asm__ __volatile__ (  "slwi %0,%0,3\n"
                                 "addi %0,%0,23\n"
                                 "rlwnm %0,%1,%0,30,31\n":
                 "=r"(ret):
                 "r"(config),"0"(range)
         );

         return ret;
}

in a header and the resultant code generated is:

.L58:
         li 0,1   # ratio,
         mr 29,0  # ret, ratio
#APP
         slwi 29,29,3     # ret
addi 29,29,21    # ret
rlwnm 29,28,29,27,31     # ret, ret

         slwi 0,0,3       # ret
addi 0,0,23      # ret
rlwnm 0,28,0,30,31       # ret, ret

#NO_APP

thats bad right? Because the "addi 0, 0, 23" will not work as expected 
because of the "special property" of r0. FYI:  The first three lines 
after the "#APP" are from a similar function get_PLL_ratio().

	Is there a way to blacklist r0?
