I wonder, does it make sense to support these kinds of
architecture-specific builtins on all architectures, rather than
limiting them based on some specified target architecture?

Since Sparse doesn't generate code, it can easily target all
architectures simultaneously, but that doesn't mean we couldn't tell it
what architecture to target.  Sparse could default to targeting the
host architecture, which would avoid the need to pass extra flags in the
common case.
