I glanced over your patch and it seems you have broken LLVM's
backend.  I'm not a LLVM expert by no means, but if GHC's needs
were implemented as a subtarget, wouldn't there be the
possibility of upstream LLVM accepting the patch?  If the patch
didn't break the rest of LLVM then at least it should be possible
for the same patched LLVM be used by GHC and e.g. clang.

By the way, nice work! :)

Cheers,
