I would assume so, but each inline assembly block is independent in
LLVM, so unless there are .arch changes within the block, that shouldn't
be an issue for the integrated assembler.

Sure, that works. How would you feel about something like this, so we can
keep the preamble in sync with future -Wa,-march changes? I'm not sure if
asm/compiler.h is the correct place for the definition though.
