GCC is optimizing away the initialisation of zero, since nothing visible
is using its value.

Subject: [PATCH] m68k: fix assembler constraint to prevent overeager gcc
 optimisation

Passing the address of a variable as an operand to an asm statement
doesn't mark the value of this variable as used, so gcc optimized its
initialisation away.  Fix this by using a "m" constraint instead.
