That's not quite right.  Sorry if I didn't explain it properly.

"m" allows all memory.  But this instruction only allows reg,reg and
0,reg addressing.  For that you need to use constraint "Z".

The output modifier "%y0" just makes [reg] (i.e. simple indirect addressing)
print as "0,reg" instead of "0(reg)" as it would by default (for just "%0").
