**I could not find an appropriate existing test.**
I added a couple of cases in the CFE tests 
`clang/test/CodeGen/ms-inline-asm-64.c` and 
`clang/test/CodeGen/ms-inline-asm.c`.
Now, when I had to add backend tests, I searched for an appropriate file:
```
llvm-project$ find llvm/test/CodeGen/X86 -type f -name ms-inline-asm-*
llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/ms-inline-asm-variables-x86-2-regs.ll
llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/ms-inline-asm-array.ll
llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/ms-inline-asm-PR44272.ll
llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/ms-inline-asm-variables-x64-2-regs.ll
llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/ms-inline-asm-functions.ll
llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/ms-inline-asm-redundant-clobber.ll
llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/ms-inline-asm-variables-x64-1-reg.ll
llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/ms-inline-asm-variables-x86-1-reg.ll
llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/ms-inline-asm-avx512.ll
llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/ms-inline-asm-variables-x64-nopic.ll
```
As you can see, there are tests for variables, functions, arrays, but no 
general tests like `ms-inline-asm.ll`.
My general observation is that for a CFE test `*-inline-asm*.c` there's an 
equivalent test in LLVM backend which mentions the original test name in the 
comment. For example, `ms-inline-asm-variables-x86-2-regs.ll` mentions that 
`Tests come from "clang/test/CodeGen/ms-inline-asm-variables.c"`.
However, there is no such file which mentions either `ms-inline-asm.c` or 
`ms-inline-asm-64.c`
So, I picked up an assembly instruction `xgetbv` from `ms-inline-asm.c` and 
searched it in the available `.ll` backend test via `llvm-project$ find 
llvm/test -type f -name *.ll -exec grep -l "xgetbv" {} \;`. There was just one 
file `llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/system-intrinsics-xgetbv.ll` that contains test for 
just this one instruction.
**Please suggest an appropriate 32-bit and 64-bit file to add this test**
