Exactly - this makes it more explicit upstream, to make it easier to tweak for
downstreams for Linux targets, without breaking the other OS targets.

Yes, exactly.
On Ubuntu 24.04:
```
$ cat neon.s
vadd.i8 d0, d0, d0
$ cat neon.c
void add(void) {
__asm__ __volatile__("vadd.i8 d0, d0, d0");
}
$ which clang
/usr/bin/clang
$ clang --version
Ubuntu clang version 18.1.3 (1ubuntu1)

This obviously is a downstream issue - but I'm trying to make it more explicit
upstream, to make it easier for the downstreams that do patch it.
