gen_param_check seems to want to generate an 'instrument_' check per
pointer argument. So if we have 1 argument that is a constant pointer,
and one that isn't, it should generate different instrumentation for
each. By checking the argument type, we get that behaviour. Although
we are making the assumption that if meta indicates it's not a 's'tore
(with void return), it's always a read-write access on all non-const
pointers.

Switching over to checking only meta would always generate the same
'instrument_' call for each argument. Although right now that would
seem to work because we don't yet have an atomic that accepts a
constant pointer and a non-const one.

Preferences?
