The approach of rewriting inline asms (`call`, `callbr`) is getting messy; having to handle them separately and differently between the two subclasses of `CallBase` appears messy _and_ error prone. I'm hesitant to accept that this is the best approach. (I think it's important that this PR prototyped this approach, which gave me a better sense for how difficult/complicated doing this BEFORE ISEL would be).
So this `TM->getOptLevel()` is what I didn't know existed. I think it might be a much much much smaller incision to use `TM->getOptLevel()` in `getConstraintPiority` used by `TargetLowering::getConstraintPreferences`, which in turn is used by BOTH ISEL frameworks.

So the idea is that _today_ we basically have a switch statement that returns a relative ordering of preferences when we see `"irm"` constraints. Today we pick `"r"`, which _may fail_ (I.e. experience unrecoverable register exhaustion) in fastregalloc. But I think the proper, smallest, lowest risk fix is to peek at `TM->getOptLevel()` and return a different relative ordering that prefers `"m"` when `TM->getOptLevel() == CodeGenOptLevel::None`.
