[PATCH 1/1] use limited register constraint for setnz

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Nov 25 2008 - 09:21:47 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Impact: fix in compiling

GCC can decide to use %dil when "r" is used, which is not valid for
setnz.

This bug was brought out by Stephen Rothwell's merging of the
branch tracer into linux-next.

[ Thanks to Uros Bizjak for recommending 'q' over 'Q' ]
