We had a discussion about this on IRC which you've apparently forgotten.
Using "__asm" works for asm blocks, but some Linux kernel headers fail
to compile under -std=c99 (probably more obscure ones which haven't been
really sanitized for userspace, a DVB header was the first one I hit in
a test compilation of MPlayer).
