I believe this could be useful for setting the default.

Example:

  llvm-mc -filetype=obj -triple=x86_64-unknown-linux %s -o %t
  ld.lld %t -o %t2

This would result in the code model being what `CMModel` was set for `x86_64-unknown-linux`

I would like to ask
What happens in the following scenario?

  clang -target=x86_64-unknown-linux -mcmodel=large %s -o %t
  ld.lld %t -o %t2

Will `CMModel` be the default for that target like above or is the large model information in the object there for the linker to infer?
