Migrate away from `llvm_asm` to `asm`

[Pratyush]

llvm_asm is being deprecated: rust-lang/rust#87590

[weikengchen]

We need to boost the urgency of this. As it appears that the latest version of Rust stable has deprecated it.

#306 has mostly completed this, but it's currently segfaulting for some reason. Not sure why that's happening.

@weikengchen This is the issue I mentioned during our meeting.

Using the latest release of this repository 0.3.0 and using the nightly channel of Rust.

I tried building the release locally as well as letting cargo take care of the package.

Here is the dump output:

Got it. I think this is expected, as the nightly officially bans the llvm_asm. The stable version of Rust should be fine.

There is still one remaining fix necessary for the #306. I will watch closely.

Thanks. I was using nightly as rust complains about using in Gemini #![feature] on the stable release channel.

This seems to be a Gemini issue now, so we will discuss somewhere else.

The fix is probably this: use nightly, and change the Cargo.toml of Gemini to remove "asm" from its default feature list.
