Representing dllexport/dllimport as distinct linkage types prevents using
these attributes on templates and inline functions.
Instead of introducing further mixed linkage types to include linkonce and
weak ODR, the old import/export linkage types are replaced with a new
separate visibility-like specifier:
define available_externally dllimport void @f() {}
@Var = dllexport global i32 1, align 4
Linkage for dllexported globals and functions is now equal to their linkage
without dllexport. Imported globals and functions must be either
declarations with external linkage, or definitions with
AvailableExternallyLinkage.

The inalloca attribute is designed to support passing C++ objects by
value in the Microsoft C++ ABI. It behaves the same as byval, except
that it always implies that the argument is in memory and that the bytes
are never copied. This attribute allows the caller to take the address
of an outgoing argument's memory and execute arbitrary code to store
into it.
This patch adds basic IR support, docs, and verification. It does not
attempt to implement any lowering or fix any possibly broken transforms.
When this patch lands, a complete description of this feature should
appear at http://llvm.org/docs/InAlloca.html .

linkonce_odr_auto_hide was in incomplete attempt to implement a way
for the linker to hide symbols that are known to be available in every
TU and whose addresses are not relevant for a particular DSO.
It was redundant in that it all its uses are equivalent to
linkonce_odr+unnamed_addr. Unlike those, it has never been connected
to clang or llvm's optimizers, so it was effectively dead.
Given that nothing produces it, this patch just nukes it
(other than the llvm-c enum value).

Major steps include:
1). introduces a not-addr-taken bit-field in GlobalVariable
2). GlobalOpt pass sets "not-address-taken" if it proves a global varirable
dosen't have its address taken.
3). AA use this info for disambiguation.

The work on this project was left in an unfinished and inconsistent state.
Hopefully someone will eventually get a chance to implement this feature, but
in the meantime, it is better to put things back the way the were. I have
left support in the bitcode reader to handle the case-range bitcode format,
so that we do not lose bitcode compatibility with the llvm 3.3 release.

This function attribute indicates that the function is not optimized
by any optimization or code generator passes with the
exception of interprocedural optimization passes.

The bitcode representation attribute kinds are encoded into / decoded from
should be independent of the current set of LLVM attributes and their position
in the AttrKind enum. This patch explicitly encodes attributes to fixed bitcode
values.
With this patch applied, LLVM does not silently misread attributes written by
LLVM 3.3. We also enhance the decoding slightly such that an error message is
printed if an unknown AttrKind encoding was dected.
Bonus: Dropping bitcode attributes from AttrKind is now easy, as old AttrKinds
do not need to be kept to support the Bitcode reader.

The bitcode writer emits a reference to the attribute group that the object at
the given index refers to. The bitcode reader is modified to read this in and
map it back to the attribute group.

I have some uncommitted changes to the cast code that catch this sort of thing
at compile-time but I still need to do some other cleanup before I can enable
it.

This is some initial code for emitting the attribute groups into the bitcode.
NOTE: This format *may* change! Do not rely upon the attribute groups' bitcode
not changing.

Rename the PARAMATTR_CODE_ENTRY to PARAMATTR_CODE_ENTRY_OLD. It will be replaced
by another encoding. Keep around the current LLVM attribute encoder/decoder
code, but move it to the bitcode directories so that no one's tempted to use
them.

The 'getSlot' function and its ilk allow introspection into the AttributeSet
class. However, that class should be opaque. Allow access through accessor
methods instead.

into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.
There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.
The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.
I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).
I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.
