AMDGPU requires more complex CFI rules, normally these would be
expressed with .cfi_escape, however this would make the CFI unreadable
and makes it difficult to update registers in CFI instructions (also
something AMDGPU requires).

I'm not sure who is best to review the patches in this stack, possibly @MaskRay?

Am I right in thinking this patch reduces the size of the class due to making the Comment and Values fields part of the variant?

I don't often have a reason to visit MC code, but this one looks fairly straightforward.

AMDGPU requires more complex CFI rules, normally these would be
expressed with .cfi_escape, however this would make the CFI unreadable
and makes it difficult to update registers in CFI instructions (also
something AMDGPU requires).
