That "except" is rather important to me. I'd really rather not have to
remember to specify a valid "-mcpu" every time I execute llc, if I
understand you correctly. I'm annoyed enough by the regular intrusion
of "-mattr=neon" and friends.
I suppose if anything I'd want llc to choose a maximal sensible CPU
rather than a minimal one. Possibly with its own logic.
Cheers.
