Oops.  What I meant, of course, was

extern int foo;
int something() {
  asm ("" : : "r"(&foo));
  return 0;
}

which gets turned into

(insn 7 6 10 (asm_operands/v ("") ("") 0[ 
            (symbol_ref:SI ("@foo"))
        ] 
        [ 
            (asm_input:SI ("r"))
        ]  ("t.c") 3) -1 (nil)
    (nil))

I believe the reason it doesn't get modified is that until reload,
nothing looks at the constraints of an asm, and it might be
asm ("" : : "i"(&foo))
or similar.
