 Various intrinsics have native MIR operations that they correspond to. Instead of requiring
 backends to implement both the intrinsic and the MIR operation, the `lower_intrinsics` pass

-### Legacy extern ABI based intrinsics
-
-*This style is deprecated, always prefer the above form.*
-
-These are imported as if they were FFI functions, with the special
-`rust-intrinsic` ABI. For example, if one was in a freestanding
-context, but wished to be able to `transmute` between types, and
-perform efficient pointer arithmetic, one would import those functions
-via a declaration like
-
-```rust
-#![feature(intrinsics)]
-#![allow(internal_features)]
-# fn main() {}
-
-extern "rust-intrinsic" {
-    fn transmute<T, U>(x: T) -> U;
-
-    fn arith_offset<T>(dst: *const T, offset: isize) -> *const T;
-}
-```
-
-As with any other FFI functions, these are by default always `unsafe` to call.
-You can add `#[rustc_safe_intrinsic]` to the intrinsic to make it safe to call.
