Isn't the "+m" (*regs) is an in/out operand and doesn't it have to be valid
throughout the entire asm and thus its memory address can't be held by %eax
because %eax is used elsewhere in the asm as an input and an output?

I'm not aware of a way to handle the second case where we want to show a memory
read/write effect, but not consume any resources.   I can see how that would be
valuable
