Passing a u8 into a register doesn't mean gcc will zero-extend it. Also, don't depend on thhe register not to change. Per bug report from Saul Tamari. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

asm() statements need to be volatile when: a. They have side effects (other than value returned). b. When the value returned can vary over time. c. When they have ordering constraints that cannot be expressed to gcc. In particular, the keyboard and timer reads were violating constraint (b), which resulted in the keyboard/timeout poll getting loop-invariant-removed when compiling with gcc 4.2.0. Thanks to an anonymous bug reporter for pointing this out. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Video mode probing for the new x86 setup code. This code breaks down different drivers into modules. This code deliberately drops support for a lot of the vendor-specific mode probing present in the assembly version, since a lot of those probes have been found to be stale in current versions of those chips -- frequently, support for those modes have been dropped from recent video BIOSes due to space constraints, but the video BIOS signatures are still the same. However, additional drivers should be extremely straightforward to plug in, if desirable. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
