+Interesting work that remains to be done:
+* Write a pass to restructurize irreducible control flow. This needs to be done
+  before register allocation to be efficient, because it may duplicate basic
+  blocks and WebAssembly performs register allocation at a whole-function
+  level. Note that LLVM's GPU code has such a pass, but it linearizes control
+  flow (e.g. both sides of branches execute and are masked) which is undesirable
+  for WebAssembly.
+* Basic relooper to expose control flow as an AST.
+* Figure out how to properly use MC for virtual ISAs. This may require some
+  refactoring of MC.
