Gcc inline assembly is not designed for whole functions. Best would be
to simply put the code into a .s file and compile it seperately. That
would also improve readability.

If you absolutely have to use inline assembly (I don't see any reason,
but some people seem to fanatically insist on it), save and restore
the PIC register manually inside the asm and don't mark it as
clobbered.
