wrong constraints "=g" at include/asm-i386/string.h, line 186?

[Jian-Xin Lai]

Hi,

The kernel version is 2.6.20.7. In include/asm-i386/string.h, line 169~185:
static inline char * strrchr(const char * s, int c)
{
int d0, d1;
register char * __res;
__asm__ __volatile__(
       "movb %%al,%%ah\n"
       "1:\tlodsb\n\t"
       "cmpb %%ah,%%al\n\t"
       "jne 2f\n\t"
       "leal -1(%%esi),%0\n"                                    (*)
       "2:\ttestb %%al,%%al\n\t"
       "jne 1b"
       :"=g" (__res), "=&S" (d0), "=&a" (d1)               (**)
       :"0" (0),"1" (s),"2" (c)
       :"memory");
return __res;
}

The 'lea' instruction needs a register here (*), but "g" (**) means
any registers, memory or immediate integer. Is it correct? If the
compiler do not place the __res into a register, the compilation will
fail. Should it be "r"?
Thank you very much.
