How about the following?

It boots fine in kvm and the asm changes are only trivial gcc comments

Move the RWSEM_ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS out of the inline asm to reduce the
number of arguments. Also, make it an input argument only (why it was an
output operand, I still don't know...).

For better readability, use symbolic names for the arguments and move
the linebreak backspace to 80 cols.

Resulting asm differs only in the temporary gcc variable names and
locations:
