                        ; (It goes down (lower addresses from here.)

; This subroutine saves the registers,
; messes up the registers locally,
; then restores the registers and returns.
subroutine
   stmfd sp!, {r1-r2,lr} ; save used registers and the link register (r14)
   mov r1,#0xffffffff ; mess up the registers
   mov r2, r1
   ldmfd sp!, {r1,r2,pc} ; pop the stack and return
