Nobody seems to actually use this, while still adding some extra complexity to the already rather complex codegen coordinator code. It is also not supported by any backend other than the LLVM backend.
The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR,
and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code
that runs towards the end of the compilation process.
For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
