One thing to note is that there appears to be no documentation of `x86_amx` in 
the langref (maybe there is, but searching for `x86_amx` did not surface 
anything). Without that, making any decisions based on the type in general LLVM 
optimizations seems problematic, because the type is effectively not specified.
