      [ARM] 5196/1: fix inline asm constraints for preload · 16f719de
      Nicolas Pitre authored
      With gcc 4.3 and later, a pointer that has already been dereferenced is
      assumed not to be null since it should have caused a segmentation fault
      otherwise, hence any subsequent test against NULL is optimized away.
      
      Current inline asm constraint used in the implementation of prefetch()
      makes gcc believe that the pointer is dereferenced even though the PLD
      instruction does not load any data and does not cause a segmentation
      fault on null pointers, which causes all sorts of interesting results
      when reaching the end of a linked lists for example.
      
      Let's use a better constraint to properly represent the actual usage of
      the pointer value.
      
      Problem reported by Chris Steel.
