The optimization handles esoteric cases but adds a lot of complexity both to the X86 backend and to other backends.
This optimization disables an important canonicalization of chains of SEXT nodes and makes SEXT and ZEXT asymmetrical.
Disabling the canonicalization of consecutive SEXT nodes into a single node disables other DAG optimizations that assume
that there is only one SEXT node. The AVX mask optimizations is one example. Additionally this optimization does not update the cost model.

I also changed the name of a variable in IRBuilder::CreateFPExtOrFPTrunc to
match the names used in its two matching brethern as well.

We ignore the cpu frontend and focus on pipeline utilization. We do this because we
don't have a good way to estimate the loop body size at the IR level.

This implies changing method documentation from the following style:
/// MethodName - Method description...
to
/// \brief Method description...
ala the LLVM Style Guide.

This method serves an analogous purpose to CreateZExtOrTrunc/CreateSExtOrTrunc
but for floating point types.
In detail, it provides a manner when one is handling conversions of floating
point types of automatically selecting fpext, fptrunc, or identity depending on
the relative bitsize of the source and destination types.

This change also removes a bunch of boilerplate and stuffing which made
it unnecessarily hard to navigate and see the comparatively miniscule
actual content that was added to this document during the 3.2
development period (or maybe even sticking around from earlier
releases...).
The new organization (a flat list) optimizes for making it easy for
people who know about changes to add them to the document. It's
completely trivial for anyone with basic knowledge of LLVM to come in
later (such as when preparing for the actual release) and cluster any
changes into logical groups. However, I have left some comments
indicating how to add larger descriptions, if someone is feeling
adventurous ;)
Hopefully this organization will highlight how little effort is being
put into producing accurate, high-quality release notes, prompting a
corresponding improvement for the 3.3 release.
I have preserved the changes to this document that are not present
in the 3.2 release notes. There were only two... I'm pretty sure we've
been busier than that... (version control shows +213347/-173656 raw
lines just in the LLVM repo since the 3.2 release).

This brings back {Ctrl,Cmd}-f'ability, and makes some really bad
organizational choices easier to see (and therefore fix).

We weren't encoding boolean constants correctly due to modeling boolean as a
signed type & then sign extending an i1 up to a byte & getting 255.

through a BitstreamCursor that produce it: advance() and
advanceSkippingSubblocks(), representing the two most common ways clients
want to walk through bitcode.

has past the point of making sense. Lets tidy things up: first step, moving
a ton of big functions out of line.

This separates the check for "too few elements to run the vector loop" from the
"memory overlap" check, giving a lot nicer code and allowing to skip the memory
checks when we're not going to execute the vector code anyways. We still leave
the decision of whether to emit the memory checks as branches or setccs, but it
seems to be doing a good job. If ugly code pops up we may want to emit them as
separate blocks too. Small speedup on MultiSource/Benchmarks/MallocBench/espresso.
Most of this is legwork to allow multiple bypass blocks while updating PHIs,
dominators and loop info.

but I cannot reproduce the problem and have scrubed my sources and
even tested with llvm-lit -v --vg.
Formatting fixes. Mostly long lines and
blank spaces at end of lines.

configure checks whether -Wno-missing-field-initializers is a valid
compiler flag but it was never actually used in Makefile.rules.
Enable it to avoid some ridiculous warnings from gcc.
