 * access any memory it wants, the compiler could have fit all of
 * @ptr into memory registers instead, and since @ptr never escaped
 * from that, it proved that the inline asm wasn't touching any of
 * it. This version works well with both compilers, i.e. we're telling

 * pointer arithmetic on "objects" outside their boundaries and the
 * gcc optimizers assume this is the case. In particular they
 * assume such arithmetic does not wrap.
 *
 * A miscompilation has been observed because of this on PPC.
 * To work around it we hide the relationship of the pointer and the object
 * using this macro.
 *
 * Versions of the ppc64 compiler before 4.1 had a bug where use of
