xcore backend!
fortran on darwin!
.ll parser rewrite.
.ll parser rewrite, caret diags, better errors, less fragile (less likely to
crash on strange things). No longer depends on flex/bison.
GCC inliner off, llvm handles always-inline.
cmake mature?
x86 backend FS/GS segment address spaces?
x86 backend GS segment -> addr space 256 (r62980)
nocapture
memdep (used by GVN and memcpyopt) is faster / more aggressive.

postalloc scheduler: anti dependence breaking, hazard recognizer?
llvmc2 renamed to llvmc
Jump threading more powerful: it is iterative, handles threading based on values
with fully redundant and partially redundant loads.

vector shift support + X86 backend.
x86 JIT now detects core i7 and atom, autoconfiguring itself appropriately.
SROA is more aggressive about promoting unions.
non-zero __builtin_return_address values on X86.
x86-64 now uses red zone (unless -mno-red-zone option is specified).
private linkage.
llvm-gcc defaults to -fno-math-errno on all x86 targets.
initial support for debug line numbers when optimization enabled, not useful in
2.5 but will be for 2.6.
