The callee may set a field in `st_other` to 1 to indicate r2 should be
treated as caller-saved. This means a trampoline must be used to save
the current TOC before calling it and restore it afterwards, much like
external calls.
This is necessary for supporting V2 ABI static calls that do not
preserve the TOC.
