Can you implement just one macro that uses __builtin_constant_p to
select between the imm and reg versions? I forgot if there's some
corner cases that prevent that working with inline asm i constraints.

static inline void wrtee(long val)
{
asm volatile("wrtee%I0 %0" : : "n"(val) : "memory");
}

Great, didn't know that possibility.

Can it be used with any insn, for instance with add/addi ?
Or with mr/li ?


(This output modifier goes back to the dark ages, some 2.4 or something).

Hope Clang support it ...
