okay - Jeremy, could you try the fix below? (or tip/master, i just pushed this out)
Actually, don't try that one.

It needs to be a _byte_ registers, so "ir" was wrong. You need "iq".

Doesn't work, unfortunately:
{standard input}:20511: Error: Incorrect register `%eax' used with `b' suffix

        lock; orb %eax,1(%rdi)  # tmp64,

This does work:

               asm volatile(LOCK_PREFIX "orb %1,%0"
                       : CONST_MASK_ADDR(nr, addr)
                       : "iq" ((u8)CONST_MASK(nr))
                       : "memory");

(ie, explicitly casting the mask to u8)
