error: PIC register 'ebx' clobbered in 'asm'

[Serge Leschinsky]

Hello,

I tried to compile kvm and got the following error:
"PIC register 'ebx' clobbered in 'asm'"

Could you please explain me how to fix it?

kvm-81,
linux-2.6.27.9,
gcc -v:
	i686-pc-linux-gnu
	Thread model: posix
	gcc version 4.1.2


make[1]: Entering directory `/data/build/tmp/kvm-81/user'
gcc  -D__i386__ -I /data/build/tmp/kvm-81/kernel/include -m32 -O1 -MMD -MF

Just comment out the entire for loop; it's a unit test not used during 
runtime.  I've committed a real fix.
