Summary:
Because GCC doesn't use $1 for code generation, inline assembly code can use $1 without having to add it to the clobbers list.
LLVM, on the other hand, does not shy away from using $1, and this can cause conflicts with inline assembly which assumes GCC-like code generation.
A solution to this problem is to make Clang automatically clobber $1 for all MIPS inline assembly.
This is not the optimal solution, but it seems like a necessary compromise, for now.

This patch then adds all the usual platform-specific pieces for SystemZ:
driver support, basic target info, register names and constraints,
ABI info and vararg support. It also adds new tests to verify pre-defined
macros and inline asm, and updates a test for the minimum alignment change.
This version of the patch incorporates feedback from reviews by
Eric Christopher and John McCall. Thanks to all reviewers!

The SPARC v8 and SPARC v8 architectures are very similar, so use a base
class to share most information between them.
Include operating systems with known SPARC v9 ports.
Also fix two issues with the SPARC v8 data layout string: SPARC v8 is a
big endian target with a 64-bit aligned stack.
