Research direction
Start by reading the codegen_ssa implementation and comparing the listed areas with the LLVM codegen, including allocator handling, inline asm dummy_output_type, visibility in callee.rs, and intrinsics. Done means the checklist items are addressed in codegen_ssa and the duplicated LLVM codegen logic is reduced without leaving any listed item unresolved.
