[Xen-devel] [PATCH 6/6] x86emul: simplify FPU handling asm() constraints

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

The memory clobber is rather harsh here. However, fic.exn_raised may be
modified as a side effect, so we need to let the compiler know that all
of "fic" may be changed (preventing it from moving around accesses to
the exn_raised field).
