75338097c7 Remove llvm-ld and llvm-stub (which is only used by llvm-ld).
llvm-ld is no longer useful and causes confusion and so it is being removed.

* Does not work very well on Windows because it must call a gcc like driver to
  assemble and link.
* Has lots of hard coded paths which are wrong on many systems.
* Does not understand most of ld's options.
* Can be partially replaced by llvm-link | opt | {llc | as, llc -filetype=obj} |
  ld, or fully replaced by Clang.

I know of no production use of llvm-ld, and hacking use should be
replaced by Clang's driver.

8883c43ddc Make it possible to indicate relaxed floating point requirements at the IR level
through the use of 'fpmath' metadata.  Currently this only provides a 'fpaccuracy'
value, which may be a number in ULPs or the keyword 'fast', however the intent is
that this will be extended with additional information about NaN's, infinities
etc later.  No optimizations have been hooked up to this so far.

7739cad69d Add a new kind of MachineOperand: MO_RegisterMask.
Register masks will be used as a compact representation of large clobber
lists.  Currently, an x86 call instruction has some 40 operands
representing call-clobbered registers.  That's more than 1kB of useless
operands per call site.

A register mask operand references a bit mask of call-preserved
registers, everything else is clobbered.  The bit mask will typically
come from TargetRegisterInfo::getCallPreservedMask().

By abandoning ImplicitDefs for call-clobbered registers, it also becomes
possible to share call instruction descriptions between calling
conventions, and we can get rid of the WINCALL* instructions.

This patch introduces the new operand kind.  Future patches will add
RegMask support to target-independent passes before finally the fixed
clobber lists can be removed from call instruction descriptions.

d9e5c764bf Freeze reserved registers before starting register allocation.
The register allocators don't currently support adding reserved
registers while they are running.  Extend the MRI API to keep track of
the set of reserved registers when register allocation started.

Target hooks like hasFP() and needsStackRealignment() can look at this
set to avoid reserving more registers during register allocation.
