    nyan: Use asm volatile instead of plain asm so it doesn't get optimized out.
    
    If an asm blob isn't marked as volatile, gcc is free to throw it out if it
    doesn't think it produces any values that are actually used. To prevent that
    from happening, add volatile to some asm blobs in the nyan romstage code.
    
    BUG=None
    TEST=Booted on nyan rev1.
    BRANCH=None
