    Add AArch64 as an experimental target. · e0e3aefd
    Tim Northover authored
    This patch adds support for AArch64 (ARM's 64-bit architecture) to
    LLVM in the "experimental" category. Currently, it won't be built
    unless requested explicitly.
    
    This initial commit should have support for:
        + Assembly of all scalar (i.e. non-NEON, non-Crypto) instructions
          (except the late addition CRC instructions).
        + CodeGen features required for C++03 and C99.
        + Compilation for the "small" memory model: code+static data <
          4GB.
        + Absolute and position-independent code.
        + GNU-style (i.e. "__thread") TLS.
        + Debugging information.
    
    The principal omission, currently, is performance tuning.
    
    This patch excludes the NEON support also reviewed due to an outbreak of
    batshit insanity in our legal department. That will be committed soon bringing
    the changes to precisely what has been approved.
    
    Further reviews would be gratefully received.
