The clobber is trying to say that anything except RDI is available for
clobbering, but actually clobbers everything. This hasn't mattered

Hmm, did we never have the deliberate-clobbering debug code for 64 bit?
No. I think I killed it off before 64-bit was even started. There was some confusion about whether the return regs were considered to be "clobbered" or not, but I don't remember the details.
