Why is "2" in the clobberlist? It's just read, not written. In
principle there should be some way to indicate that the asm has hidden
state it reads so that it couldn't be reordered before the initial asm
call that initializes the register, but that would be massive
reordering that's not likely to happen anyway. I'm not sure what the
right way to encode this as a constraint is...
