        <pre>Currently, the community mainline does not support the .inst directive (which
is similar to .word except that it will appear in instruction stream with
direct encoding). 

foo.S:1110:2: error: unknown directive
.inst 0x5e104020

I imagine this would be very similar to the solution in the ARM backend:
