clang: work around asm output constraint problems
Work around clang problems with "=rm" asm constraint.
clang seems to always chose the memory output, while it is almost
always the worst choice.
Add ASM_OUTPUT_RM so that we can replace "=rm" constraint
where it matters for clang, while not penalizing gcc.
