- Together these form the (Mach-O) back end of the assembler.
- MCAssembler is the actual assembler backend, which is designed to have a
reasonable API. This will eventually grow to support multiple object file
implementations, but for now its Mach-O/i386 only.
- MCMachOStreamer adapts the MCStreamer "actions" API to the MCAssembler API,
e.g. converting the various directives into fragments, managing state like
the current section, and so on.
- llvm-mc will use the new backend via '-filetype=obj', which may eventually
be, but is not yet, since I hear that people like assemblers which actually
assemble.
- The only thing that works at the moment is changing sections. For the time
being I have a Python Mach-O dumping tool in test/scripts so this stuff can
be easily tested, eventually I expect to replace this with a real LLVM tool.
- More doxyments to come.
I assume that since this stuff doesn't touch any of the things which are part of
2.6 that it is ok to put this in not so long before the freeze, but if someone
objects let me know, I can pull it.

new implementation is working.

Temporarily revert 79555. It was causing hangs and test failures.

conversion code do we really need?
- S.append_uint(N) can be replaced with 'raw_svector_ostream(S) << N' which is
somewhat slower due to the extra set up cost, but still plenty fast
(especially if the svector set up cost can be amortized).

right.
- This class turns out to be much more convenient to use if we do this; clients
can make sure the buffer is always big enough if they care (since our current
idiom tends to be to use a SmallString<256> for the input to this we should
generally be avoiding an unnecessary malloc).
Also, add a convenience raw_svector_ostream::str method which flushes the buffer
and returns a StringRef for the vector contents.

- This avoids unnecessary malloc/free overhead in the common case, and
unnecessary copying from the ostream buffer into the output vector.

- These allow clients to make use of the extra elements in the vector which
have already been allocated, without requiring them to be value initialized.

gcc-4.4 was optimizing away comparisons against SimpleValueType when
it was compared to a value larger than the largest value in the enum.
This patch works around it by adding one extra item to the enum so
that these tests will now be valid.

- Kill off begin(), end(), and iterator. It isn't clear what these
mean. Instead provide getBufferStart(), which can be used with
GetNumBytesInBuffer to the same effect.
- Update ComputeColumn to take arguments for the buffer to scan, this
simplifies the implementation of write_impl substantially.
- This should also fix possible problems with the scanning pointer pointing
outside of the current raw_ostream buffer.

- Drop the Candidates argument and fix all callers. Now that RegScavenger
tracks available registers accurately, there is no need to restict the
search.
- Make sure that no aliases of the found register are in use. This was a potential bug.

TargetData is not present. It still uses TargetData when available.
This generalization also fixed some limitations in the TargetData
case; the attached testcase covers this.

MCAsmStreamer. Based on this, eliminate the current section from AsmPrinter.
While I'm at it, clean up the last of the horrible "switch to null section" stuff
and add an assert. This change is in preparation for completely eliminating
asmprinter::switchtosection.
