- * out_constraints must be of the form OUT_CONSTRAINTS(constraints),
- * and in_constraints must be of the form IN_CONSTRAINTS(constraints),
- * where "constraints" is a constraints list as would be used in an
- * inline __asm__()

- * clobber must be of the form CLOBBER ( clobber_list ), where
- * "clobber_list" is a clobber list as would be used in an inline
- * __asm__().

- * These are best illustrated by example. To write a character to the
- * console using INT 10, you would do something like:
- *
- * REAL_EXEC ( rm_test_librm,
- * "int $0x10",
- * 1,

- * IN_CONSTRAINTS ( "a" ( 0x0e00 + character ),
- * "b" ( 1 ) ),
- * CLOBBER ( "ebx", "ecx", "edx", "ebp", "esi", "edi" ) );
- *
- * IMPORTANT: gcc does not automatically assume that input operands
- * get clobbered. The only way to specify that an input operand may
- * be modified is to also specify it as an output operand; hence the
- * "(discard)" in the above code.

+ * to the BIOS console using INT 10, you would do something like:
+ *
+ * __asm__ __volatile__ ( REAL_CODE ( "int $0x16" )
