of the instruction.
Note that this change affects the existing non-atomic load and store
instructions; the parser now accepts both forms, and the change is noted
in the release notes.

patch brings numerous advantages to LLVM. One way to look at it
is through diffstat:
109 files changed, 3005 insertions(+), 5906 deletions(-)
Removing almost 3K lines of code is a good thing. Other advantages
include:
1. Value::getType() is a simple load that can be CSE'd, not a mutating
union-find operation.
2. Types a uniqued and never move once created, defining away PATypeHolder.
3. Structs can be "named" now, and their name is part of the identity that
uniques them. This means that the compiler doesn't merge them structurally
which makes the IR much less confusing.
4. Now that there is no way to get a cycle in a type graph without a named
struct type, "upreferences" go away.
5. Type refinement is completely gone, which should make LTO much MUCH faster
in some common cases with C++ code.
6. Types are now generally immutable, so we can use "Type *" instead
"const Type *" everywhere.
Downsides of this patch are that it removes some functions from the C API,
so people using those will have to upgrade to (not yet added) new API.
"LLVM 3.0" is the right time to do this.
There are still some cleanups pending after this, this patch is large enough
as-is.

for pre-2.9 bitcode files. We keep x86 unaligned loads, movnt, crc32, and the
target indep prefetch change.
As usual, updating the testsuite is a PITA.

happily accept things like "sext <2 x i32> to <999 x i64>". It would
also accept "sext <2 x i32> to i64", though the verifier would catch
that later. Fixed by having castIsValid check that vector lengths match
except when doing a bitcast. (2) When creating a cast instruction, check
that the cast is valid (this was already done when creating constexpr
casts). While there, replace getScalarSizeInBits (used to allow more
vector casts) with getPrimitiveSizeInBits in getCastOpcode and isCastable
since vector to vector casts are now handled explicitly by passing to the
element types; i.e. this bit should result in no functional change.

Now that we have a first-class way to represent unaligned loads, the unaligned
load intrinsics are superfluous.

Add a unnamed_addr bit to global variables and functions. This will be used
to indicate that the address is not significant and therefore the constant
or function can be merged with others.
If an optimization pass can show that an address is not used, it can set this.
Examples of things that can have this set by the FE are globals created to
hold string literals and C++ constructors.
Adding unnamed_addr to a non-const global should have no effect unless
an optimization can transform that global into a constant.
Aliases are not allowed to have unnamed_addr since I couldn't figure
out any use for it.

Also add asserts that the indices are valid in InsertValueInst::init(). ExtractValueInst already asserts when constructed with invalid indices.

Steward! Could you place this chair by the aft sun deck? I'm trying to get away
from the Astors. They are such boors!

The x86_mmx type is used for MMX intrinsics, parameters and
return values where these use MMX registers, and is also
supported in load, store, and bitcast.
Only the above operations generate MMX instructions, and optimizations
do not operate on or produce MMX intrinsics.
MMX-sized vectors <2 x i32> etc. are lowered to XMM or split into
smaller pieces. Optimizations may occur on these forms and the
result casted back to x86_mmx, provided the result feeds into a
previous existing x86_mmx operation.
The point of all this is prevent optimizations from introducing
MMX operations, which is unsafe due to the EMMS problem.

alloca instructions (constrained by their internal encoding),
and add error checking for it. Fix an instcombine bug which
generated huge alignment values (null is infinitely aligned).
This fixes undefined behavior noticed by John Regehr.

This patch also cleans up code that expects there to be a bitcast in the first argument and testcases that call llvm.dbg.declare.
It also strips old llvm.dbg.declare intrinsics that did not pass metadata as the first argument.
