clang: work around asm input constraint problems
Work around clang problems with asm constraints that have multiple possibilities, particularly "g" and "rm". Clang seems to turn inputs like that into the most generic form, which is the memory input - but to make matters worse, clang won't even use a possible original memory location, but will spill the value to stack, and use the stack for the asm input. See https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/20571#issuecomment-980933442 for some explanation of why clang has this strange behavior, but the end result is that "g" and "rm" really end up generating horrid code.
