It is there to tell the compiler that the memory contents at *addr are used
as input. Without that, and only the "a" contraint, the compiler is free to
discard any potential previous writes to *addr.

The best solution here would be to use the Q constraint (memory reference
with short displacement and without index register) for the second operand
address of msch. Or simply copy the current implementation from the kernel
(drivers/s390/cio/ioasm.c).
