Volatile or ASM clobber

Unedited 'request' from TomTom: use of volatile keyword instead of asm("":::"memory"). Two reasons: it was marked as minor while it was a serious change in code, and IMO it didnt improve understandability. Apart from that, the algorithm is fundamentally flawed as it can't cope with residual bus voltages. There's a thread regarding good checking of memory whose contents would provide for a better way of checking memory - we should create a new algorithm based on the concepts there. - Combuster 15:53, 9 May 2007 (CDT)
