You decide whether to allow sibcalls on a per-caller basis generally. All
the information needed to know how the arguments will be passed is available
at the call site, and your backend knows how arguments are passed, so it can
decide then whether the callee is also suitable or not. It shouldn't be a
significant overhead even if you have to evaluate the suitability of the same
callee multiple times in independent callers.
