The clobbers. For example:

arch/arm64/kvm/sys_regs.c:

        /* Make sure noone else changes CSSELR during this! */
        local_irq_disable();
        /* Put value into CSSELR */
        asm volatile("msr csselr_el1, %x0" : : "r" (csselr));
        isb();
        /* Read result out of CCSIDR */
        asm volatile("mrs %0, ccsidr_el1" : "=r" (ccsidr));
        local_irq_enable();

Just about everything can be re-ordered in that block, because the asm
volatile statements don't have "memory" clobbers.

I think it's worth checking the rest of the kernel, too.
