Research direction
Start by inspecting build.rs and how the inline-asm feature is detected or exposed. Add a clear message when the feature is enabled, indicating that it is deprecated, has no effect, and will be removed in a future major version. Confirm the message appears when the feature is used.

Description
The inline-asm feature is a relic of the time before inline asm was supported in stable rust. We should do something to make it more obvious that that feature now does nothing and will be removed in a future major version.
One idea might be to at least have a message from build.rs that is output when the inline-asm feature is active is used.
