This looks suspicious. There's no clobber for $r15, so isn't this
corrupting a GPR behind the back of the compiler?

Shouldn't there be a tmp variable for the register allocation rather
than hard-coding $r15?

This time you have a clobber, but it's still not clear to me why you
don't use a tmp variable and leave the register allocation to the
compiler.

Thanks,
