?? I know that this syntax works for r8, but I don't remember for r9-r15. I don't
have my handy documentation nearby, so let met check tomorrow (if nobody finds
before).

Anyway, although not optimal, even your first version should be ok with respect
to placing the fourth arg in r10 (assuming that the compiler keeps it until the
next asm statement of course, which any [future?] code instrumentation of the
compiler could break).
