That  should work at the moment that you are emitting the instructions.

But what would you do when you are manipulating a MachineBasicBlock and want to
annotate some instructions there ? (way before the assembler jumps in)
The annotation belongs to the instruction and other manipulations that are performed later (like reordering of instructions)
should keep the annotation (iff the instruction itself is kept).
