This code is part of an embedded operating system. So of course
we'd like full control over all registers. After this register setting
is an asm jump to some other code, so r31 is not really used
for the C-code anymore.
I found that it works if I remove the clobber. That is good enough
as there's no more C-code that could look at the clobber.
Thanks
