There are 3 possibilities:
- clang instr
- ir instr
- no instr

A simple binary flag can only encode 2. So some sort of extra information needs to be passed. Off the top of my head, I thought of just adding an extra flag, but I like your suggestion `-fprofile-instrumentor=[clang|LLVM]`. That is clean and avoids having to deal with an error for the "clang instr + ir instr" case.
