[9fans] has anyone wished for

"static extern register"?

i know, the syntax doesn't make sense, but if you take "extern register"
to have the standard plan 9 meaning, and static to mean visibility limited
to this file, then there you have it.

At a glance, I'd say you're looking for inline assembly?

no. the meaning of extern register is detailed in /sys/doc/comp.ps.

What happens when two files linked into the same binary both declare
static extern register variables?
