Using in_8 and out_8 without module optimization

[Wolfgang Grandegger]

Hi Seb,

to get inline's expanded you need at least "-O" optimization.
To ensure that the asm-code is executed in sequence with your
C-code use:

  -fno-schedule-insns -fno-schedule-insns2

Hope that's what you are looking for.

Ciao, Wolfgang.
