Likewise, LLVM hardcodes that byte is 8 bits and does not want to change that
since there is no official LLVM target with that characteristics,
and thus it is impossible to test it, and it would quickly regress.

Which target will be affected by this patch?
I suspect the situation is the same here.
If there is no way to test this upstream...
