I assume this is what LLVM does anyway when you create InlineAsm
objects in Modules. But I don't actually know; that's just what I
would expect from the assembly docs.
Yes, but there needs to be a MC AsmParser for the given architecture
because we are using MC to emit code. There is one for x86 and ARM, but
e.g. not for PPC. There is no way to just "splice" inline assembly into
the output like when using a standalone assembler.
