Fix a few clobbers to include the return register.  The clobbers set

Has this been tested on older gcc's?  I seem to recall them barfing
over things like this.

Things like what?  Do you mean the %[foo] asm parameter syntax?  I think
those versions are no longer supported - Arjan posted a patch a few days
ago to convert a pile of asms to this form.  Or do you mean something else?

I meant having an output in the clobber list, I didn't know we were dropping support for older versions already.
