+10 for a new inline asm lowering class that targets extend. The
FooISelLowering.cpp files are super monolithic, and X86ISelLowering.cpp can
take more than a minute to compile. The *CallLowering classes were a much
better design, and I envy them as someone who often works with X86
SDISel call lowering.
