The integrated assembler as far as I am aware cannot assemble the kernel for
reasons independent from lse (AS=clang generates a lot of errors). Not sure how
Sami is testing it. I would be happy to learn it myself.

The default option for clang in the kernel Makefile is "-no-integrated-as"
though hence e0d5896bd356cd introduces a regression.
