As I tried previously, CALL_INSN_FUCNTION_USGE way is tricky.
At least on i386, you don't need GOT when function is called indirectly,
so I don't add it to the FUSAGE, but when the indirect call is changed
to direct, I get wrong insn, as I can't check validity of FUSAGE in
the pattern.
It is better to use separate USE IMO.
