That still doesn't do what you want. Arrays in C are funny. *desc is
exactly equivalent to desc[0], _not_ to the whole array, indeed there's no
C syntax to name an lvalue of array type in normal expressions. You need
to jump through hoops for this:
"m" (*(struct {unsigned long x[2];} *)desc)
It'd probably be easier to simply declare the descriptor as a struct,
rather than an array, then the original syntax would have been mostly
correct:
struct {u64 d[2];} desc = { pcid, addr };
asm ... "m" (desc), "c" (&desc)
Ciao,
Michael.
