Indeed, with this and 4.5.2 20101111 (prerelease) from SVN as well as
gcc-4.5.1-5.fc14:

...
        movl    %eax, -16(%ebp) # regs, %sfp
        movl    (%eax), %eax    # regs_2(D)->eax,
        movl    %eax, -20(%ebp) #, %sfp
        movl    -16(%ebp), %eax # %sfp,
#APP
# 149 "/home/lsrc/git/linux-work2/drivers/char/i8k.c" 1
...
#NO_APP
        testl   %eax, %eax      #
        movl    $-22, %edx      #, D.18378
        movl    %eax, -24(%ebp) #, %sfp
        je      .L7     #,
.L2:
        movl    -12(%ebp), %ebx #,
        movl    %edx, %eax      # D.18378,
        movl    -8(%ebp), %esi  #,
        movl    -4(%ebp), %edi  #,
        movl    %ebp, %esp      #,
        popl    %ebp    #
        ret
        .p2align 4,,7
        .p2align 3
.L7:
        movl    -16(%ebp), %eax # %sfp,
        movl    (%eax), %ecx    # regs_2(D)->eax, D.18371
        cmpw    $-1, %cx        #, D.18371
        je      .L2     #,
        cmpl    %ecx, -20(%ebp) # D.18371, %sfp
        cmovne  -24(%ebp), %edx # %sfp,, D.18378
        jmp     .L2     #
        .size   i8k_smm, .-i8k_smm

I don't see any problems on the assembly level.  i8k_smm is
not inlined in this case and checks all 3 conditions.

Guess we need somebody who actually reported the problem, state what
gcc was actually used and post preprocessed source, gcc options
from his case.
