Even if the LLVM IR itself was guaranteed to be
architecture-transparent (it isn't), all architectures use different
kernel code, there's no way to make a vmlinux binary which has the
code for all the architectures at once.
Even compiling the UML (using ARCH=um), where the kernel runs in
userspace like a regular program, won't make a 'universal binary' as
it depends on some x86[_64] inline assembly.
