Hi Tobias & Joerg,

I understand your concern.

yes, Asm Parser is a module which could be committed individually, but I 
think the code
for AsmParser is relatively small and highly target dependent, a full 
regression test which
cover all instructions could largly gurantee the correctness.

I know contributors have their own works. For TILE-Gx backend, it's good 
if any contributor could have time to finish a full set review, I have 
been wating for several weeks.

I personly think it's not premature to commit TILE-Gx backend into 
mainline and default disable. Because:

1. TILE-Gx finished the regression test & test-suite test.
2. TILE-Gx buildbot will be setup, so it will be convinent for both 
community & Tilera company to monitor the status.

So should I keep waiting the full set review? or it's OK to commit and 
default disabled?
