Out of curiosity, what prevents the compiler from moving instructions
outside of the code regions surrounded by entry/exit ? This is an always
inline, which invokes set_debugreg which is inline for CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL=n,
which in turn uses an asm() (not volatile), without any memory clobber.

Also, considering that "inline" is not sufficient to ensure the compiler
does not emit a traceable function, I suspect you'll also want to mark
"native_get_debugreg" and "native_set_debugreg" always inline as well.

Thanks,

Mathieu
