You said in your initial message that you were willing to start all this
at your own risk. Well this is it, and it's only the very beginning.
This inline assembly snippet is invalid because it doesn't tell the
compiler that it uses registers, which may conflict with the code
generated by the compiler. Read the GCC extended inline assembly
documentation carefully, and especially the machine constraints [1]
for the x86 family. The idea is to create an eax variable with the
value 1 in C, pass that to the inline assembly expression with the
appropriate constraint, and do something similar for the returned
value in ebx, and then extract bh from it.
