Thank you for considering supporting the standard BPF assembly
syntax in GCC.
I agree that C-like asm looks unusual.
The main reason to pick that style was the ease of understanding
and to avoid gnu vs intel asm order confusion.
We didn't want to deal with question whether 'mov r1, r2'
means r1->r2 or r2->r1. The C style asm r1=r2 is unambiguous.
