The linux kernel must be compiled with optimization in order to work, because of
design choices, so the fact that the asm does not work without optimization is a
non-issue for the linux kernel folks.

I didn't look at this too closely, but my impression is that the asm is too
complicated to work without optimization.  That is, it needs more registers than
are available when not optimizing.
