I appreciate the need to use inline assembly features of GCC in
embedded systems especially.  I find them very handy to meet that odd
requirement that takes a lot of contortion to do otherwise.

The benefit I find in using inline assembly for such reasons is that
not only does it avoid having open up the interface (by creating an
external call), but also makes the code more readable, and in many
cases also compact and efficient.
