It's useful for the memory managers that are allocating a section to know what the name of the section is.
At a minimum, this is useful for low-level debugging - it's customary for JITs to be able to tell you what
memory they allocated, and as part of any such dump, they should be able to tell you some meta-data about
what each allocation is for. This allows clients that supply their own memory managers to do this.
Additionally, we also envision the SectionName being useful for passing meta-data from within LLVM to an LLVM
client.
This changes both the C and C++ APIs, and all of the clients of those APIs within LLVM. I'm assuming that
it's safe to change the C++ API because that API is allowed to change. I'm assuming that it's safe to change
the C API because we haven't shipped the API in a release yet (LLVM 3.3 doesn't include the MCJIT memory
management C API).

libExecutionEngine. Move method implementations that aren't specific to
allocation out of SectionMemoryManager and into RTDyldMemoryManager.
This is in preparation for exposing RTDyldMemoryManager through the C
API.
This is a fixed version of r182407 and r182411. That first revision
broke builds because I forgot to move the conditional includes of
various POSIX headers from SectionMemoryManager into
RTDyldMemoryManager. Those includes are necessary because of how
getPointerToNamedFunction works around the glibc libc_nonshared.a thing.
The latter revision still broke things because I forgot to include
llvm/Config/config.h.

EngineBuilder interface required a JITMemoryManager even if it was being used
to construct an MCJIT. But the MCJIT actually wants a RTDyldMemoryManager.
Consequently, the SectionMemoryManager, which is meant for MCJIT, derived
from the JITMemoryManager and then stubbed out a bunch of JITMemoryManager
methods that weren't relevant to the MCJIT.
This patch fixes the situation: it teaches the EngineBuilder that
RTDyldMemoryManager is a supertype of JITMemoryManager, and that it's
appropriate to pass a RTDyldMemoryManager instead of a JITMemoryManager if
we're using the MCJIT. This allows us to remove the stub methods from
SectionMemoryManager, and make SectionMemoryManager a direct subtype of
RTDyldMemoryManager.

This gets exception handling working on ELF and Macho (x86-64 at least).
Other than the EH frame registration, this patch also implements support
for GOT relocations which are used to locate the personality function on
MachO.

The SectionMemoryManager now supports (and requires) applying section-specific page permissions. Clients using this memory manager must call either MCJIT::finalizeObject() or SectionMemoryManager::applyPermissions() before executing JITed code.
See r168718 for changes from the previous implementation.
