[PATCH] Fix msr register allocation

From: Glauber de Oliveira Costa
Date: Mon Jul 30 2007 - 11:26:16 EST


Since the value in ret will go through a return statement,
it does not need to be put in eax register directly. Instead,
we let the compiler do his job and choose what to do with it,
potentially getting a better register allocation.
