    This fixes #766.

    In the existing code, the compiler is allowed to allocate the RSI register for outputs m0, m1, or m2, which are written to before the input in RSI is read from. Fix this by marking them as early clobber.

    Make a similar change in the field logic, even though not triggerable there.

  5. Bugfix: mark outputs as early clobber in scalar x86_64 asm
    In the existing code, the compiler is allowed to allocate the RSI register
    for outputs m0, m1, or m2, which are written to before the input in RSI is
    read from. Fix this by marking them as early clobber.

  6. Mark stack variables as early clobber for technical correctness
    In the field 5x52 asm for x86_64, stack variables are provided as outputs.
    The existing inputs are all forcibly allocated to registers, so cannot
    coincide, but mark them as early clobber anyway to make this clearer.

    ACK 8c9ae37a5a26cdeb6365624fee43f41b238830e4

    I’m reasonably sure that we with this PR we found all outputs that needed to be marked as early clobbers.
