LLVM intrinsics must always use extern "llvm-intrinsic" and extern "llvm-intrinsic" must only be used for actual LLVM intrinsics.

Follow up to #161398

I reckon that the patch is incomplete. Are you going to "sanitize" the extern "llvm-intrinsics" declarations so that we don't hit the assertions? I can wait a bit.

Both extern "llvm-intrinsic" and #[link_name = "llvm.*"] are unstable features marked as internal. As such I think it is fine to ICE whenever you abuse them per rust-lang/compiler-team#620. But if you really want I can change them to fatal errors.
