+Inline assembly is currently supported on the following architectures:
+- x86 and x86-64
+- ARM
+- AArch64
+- RISC-V
+- NVPTX
+- Hexagon

 | RISC-V | `gp`, `tp` | These registers are reserved and cannot be used as inputs or outputs. |
 | Hexagon | `lr` | This is the link register which cannot be used as an input or output. |
 
+In some cases LLVM will allocate a "reserved register" for `reg` operands even though this register cannot be explicitly specified. Assembly code making use of reserved registers should be careful since `reg` operands may alias with those registers. Reserved registers are:
+- The frame pointer on all architectures.
+- `r6` on ARM.

 ## Template modifiers
 
 The placeholders can be augmented by modifiers which are specified after the `:` in the curly braces. These modifiers do not affect register allocation, but change the way operands are formatted when inserted into the template string. Only one modifier is allowed per template placeholder.
