CM3 / RVDS / NOPs

    I guess the loop structure:
      do { __disable_irq(); } while (0)
    might have cause the NOPs.
    Although it didn't expand into a loop, the compiler might have reserved the space for instructions if a loop is needed.
    And because it is -O0, it didn't remove the unused instruction space and hence NOPs is used.
