Hey folks,
the i8k module does no longer load on my DELL Inspiron 8200 laptops. It says this on one machine:
Oct 2 10:06:01 marc kernel: [ 16.239867] i8k: unable to get SMM Dell
signature
Due to git log there's nothing changed for a while and I cannot figure out, what's the problem. Does anyone of you?
Cheers,
Marc

Apparently this is a recent GCC issue caused by optimization of the
inline asm. Making the asm volatile seems to work around the problem
according to reporters.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=647677 and
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=780692#p780692.
