The JIT is designed to code-generate a function at-a-time. That means that any
pass can only make local changes to its function. Period.
Because the Sparc PreSelection pass claims to be a BasicBlock pass while adding
globals to the Module, it cannot be run with the other passes, because by this
time, the globals have been output already by the JIT, and the addresses of any
globals appearing AFTER this point are not recognized.
However, the PreSelection pass is a requirement for correctness in the Sparc
codegen path, so it MUST be run.

laid out closer to the VM so that calls to library functions (e.g. puts()) and
callback (e.g. JITResolver::CompilationCallback) fit into 30 bits of the call
instruction.
* Abort if architecture is not yet supported (not X86 or Sparc) because it
likely requires a different set of parameters to mmap() .
* Stop using hard-coded values for page size; use sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) instead.

* No more createX86Emitter() vs. createSparcEmitter() -- there can be only one
* As a result, the memory management semantics must be handled according to
platform -- the parameters to mmap() are particularly sensitive to the host
architecture.

`lli -march=x86' or `lli -march=sparc' will forcefully select the JIT even on a
different platform. Running lli without the -march option will select the JIT
for the platform that it's currently running on.
Pro: can test Sparc JIT (debug printing mode) on X86 -- faster to compile/link
LLVM source base to test changes.
Con: Linking lli on x86 now pulls in all the Sparc libs -> longer link time
(but X86 can bear it, right?)
In the future, perhaps this should be a ./configure option to enable/disable
target JITting...
