FWIW, the existing ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT is also not supported, so this
patch wouldn't have changed anything in that respect.
Regardless I plan to post a new patch set soon with a bunch of cleanups.
It will keep the existing ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT in place for GCC, and will
use the new __builtin_frame_address(0) input constraint for Clang only.
There will be a new asm_call() interface to hide the mess.
