Not enough. `CalledValue` will be what we want (and hopefully it won't be NULL) but `ImmutableCallSite CS` will still use callee with pointer cast and `CalledFunction` will be NULL.

Another approach can be adding `stripPointerCastsNoFollowAliases` to `ImmutableCallSite` or `CallSiteBase`. Or we can introduce another type of call site and add it there. I don't know if stripping casts will be useful or harmful in other places, for this I rely on people who are more familiar with this code.
