It looks like all this is not enough. While this solves my problem, I
thinke there are cases where gcc will still will apply CSE. Consider:

static int
mrsbasepri(void)
{
	return(mrs(basepri));
}

When gcc decides to inline mrsbasepri it will again be free to CSE the
mrs instructions :-(. Is it really just me having run into this problem?
How do other people solve the problem that __asm__ without input is
handled like a __attribute((const)) function?
