CCing Richard as author of asm goto and Vlad as register allocator
maintainer. There are a few enhancement requests to support this, like
http://gcc.gnu.org/PR59615 and http://gcc.gnu.org/PR52381 , but indeed the
reason why no outputs are allowed is the register allocation issue.
Don't know if LRA would be better suited to handle that case, but it would
indeed be pretty hard.
