Log:
  amd64: relax constraints in curthread and curpcb
  
  This makes the compiler less likely to reload the content from %gs.
  
  The 'P' modifier drops all synteax prefixes and 'n' constraint treats
  input as a known at compilation time immediate integer.
  
  Example reloading victim was spinlock_enter.
