[Xen-devel] [PATCH 4/4] xen: arm32: don't force the compiler to allocate a dummy register



TLBIALLH, ICIALLU and BPIALL make no use of their register argument. Instead
of making the compiler allocate a dummy register just hardcode r0, there is no
need to represent this in the inline asm since the register is neither
clobbered nor used in any way.
