Don't recall the original/exact reasoning. IIRC it was something along
the lines of as !x86 backends being in a buggy state back when LLVM
was first used.
Personally I don't mind if one adds other architectures and/or just
change the heuristics to "enable if available". Some people might not
be too happy about the latter though - please check with Jose and
Marek.

Afaict this patch in itself should be a no-op.

Thanks
Emil
