// This is a custom MCXCOFFStreamer for PowerPC.
//
// The purpose of the custom XCOFF streamer is to allow us to intercept
// instructions as they are being emitted and align all 8 byte instructions
// to a 64 byte boundary if required (by adding a 4 byte nop). This is important
// because 8 byte instructions are not allowed to cross 64 byte boundaries
// and by aligning anything that is within 4 bytes of the boundary we can
// guarantee that the 8 byte instructions do not cross that boundary.
