Your inline assembly seems wrong.

An output memory doesn't mean what you think. I suspect GCC gave you
an input memory operand as "%r0(%r9)" and an output memory operand as
"%r9", and expected the asm to do what it said it would do with its
operands.
Which doesn't make much sense... but there you go.
Try clobbering it instead, but you don't even need to since the
pointer is already volatile. asm volatile ("eieio") should work fine.
