I think that'll only complicate things. I think the compiler should be

HLT, FXSTOR, WRMSR, etc instruction support in x86
Then many users will wonder why their application with included ASM from
somewhere else (DOS time...) will compile fine, but fails to run :-(
Users, who do embedded stuff (without OS) NEED FULL control over the
controller. I agree with Jeppe, that the compiler should not restrict
something. Otherwise, you would need eventually ugly workarounds like
the following (on ARM7 with an old fpc 2.3.1), which could easily be
done in gcc btw.
procedure Disable;
{
mrs r0, cpsr
orr r0, r0, #0x80
msr cpsr, r0
}
begin
asm
.long 0xE10F0000
.long 0xE3800080
.long 0xE129F000
end;
end;
