It was worse actually, not even compiled in because it had output
arguments but it wasn't volatile. Some early clobber is also needed.
What about this:

#define cpu_set_asid(asid) {						\
	unsigned long ttbl, ttbh;					\
	asm volatile(							\
	"	mrrc	p15, 0, %0, %1, c2		@ read TTBR0\n"	\
	"	mov	%1, %2, lsl #(48 - 32)		@ set ASID\n"	\
	"	mcrr	p15, 0, %0, %1, c2		@ set TTBR0\n"	\
	: "=&r" (ttbl), "=&r" (ttbh)					\
	: "r" (asid & ~ASID_MASK));					\
}
