Side note: I've actually been running variations of this patch for a
couple of months now, so it's even tested, but I debugged one of the
problems with the clang asm goto support it exposed only this last
week. I thought it was a problem with my patch for the longest time,
and couldn't figure it out.

So to work it needs tip-of-tree clang *and* an additional llvm bugfix
from Nick Desaulniers for that problem I reported that hasn't landed
yet.

So I included that patch just for people to look at. If you actually
want to test it, I can send you Nick's llvm fix too, and you need to
have the ability to build your own clang.
