The same register may be used for both an input and an output, even when
they are not explicitly aliased. If an op expands to multiple target
instructions then care must be taken to avoid clobbering input values.
-GCC style "early clobber" outputs are not currently supported.
+GCC style "early clobber" outputs are supported, with '&'.
A target can define specific register or constant constraints. If an
operation uses a constant input constraint which does not allow all
constants, it must also accept registers in order to have a fallback.
+The constraint 'i' is defined generically to accept any constant.
+The constraint 'r' is not defined generically, but is consistently
