Hi Ani,

I asked the same things a few weeks back.  David is the epxert, I am not.
I think the key is what David just wrote:

>All of the inlined functions
>should have constraints which reference the actual memory address read or
>written to ensure proper dependencies in optimized code.

I think the memory constraint on the exact address prevents the compiler
from moving this inline code to someplace inappropriate, but David and
Gabriel could answer better.
