This patch looks good, well spotted!
But whats that v1 write about? Any ideas? Seems to go back to the git epoch, and $3 isn't in the clobber lists when __bzero* is called.
You need to dive deeper, that is beyond the secret commit 66f0a432564b ("Add resource managment."), to find what's happened before the epoch. ;)
Anyway, there isn't anything special here, the thing has been here since the inception of memset.S with commit 2e0f55e79c49 (no shortlog available for that one). And it is clearly a bug, possibly just a leftover from a WIP implementation or whatever.
And I can see Matt has already fixed that, thanks!
