[PATCH] Don't force the use of a base pointer with MS inline asm

Jakob, can you take a look at this?

Unfortunately, the fatal error I added actually comes up far more often
than I expected because LLVM will try to align stack frames for code like:

void foo() {
  struct { int x; int y; } p;  // LLVM wants this to be 8 byte aligned. Why?
  __asm { ... adjust esp and use p }
}

I'd prefer it if LLVM failed instead of miscompiling this code, though.

I wasn't able to do a complete fix to pick the base register dynamically
because I can't figure out how to pull the constraints off inline asm in MI.

I would also reject gcc inline asm that clobbers esp and in the presence of
stack realignment if I could see the constraints.
