instruction. Memory constraints are not supported in this
version. Aliases are specified in the input operands as for GCC.
+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.

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.
