I think the result of the discussion was that an output argument only kind-of
makes sense for dcbz, but for the others it's really an input, and clang is
wrong in the way it handles the "Z" constraint by making a copy, which it
doesn't do for "m".

I'm not sure whether it's correct to use "m" instead of "Z" here, which
would be a better workaround if that works. More importantly though,
clang really needs to be fixed to handle "Z" correctly.

As the benefit is null, I think the best is probably to reverse my original commit until at least CLang is fixed, as initialy suggested by mpe
