Historical note...

We clobber all of memory in userspace, like this:
~~~
#define __ldcw(a) \
({                                                                      \
  unsigned int __ret;                                                   \
  __asm__ __volatile__("ldcw 0(%1),%0"                                  \
                       : "=r" (__ret) : "r" (a) : "memory");            \
  __ret;                                                                \
})
~~~
I wonder if I should change that to match the kernel?

This is currently used in the Linuxthreads->NPTL compat code, and in
the old Linuxthreads code.

Cheers,
Carlos.
