By fully supported I mean it already works and people can rely on it
out of the box using a released version of Clang/LLVM. Is that the
case already? If so, many places need updating!

  * include/linux/compiler-clang.h should check for the minimum
supported version
  * Documentation/process/programming-language.rst should be updated
  * https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/wiki does not mention anything

etc.
