    Merge in new code generator branch. · 889c084e
    Simon Marlow authored
    This changes the new code generator to make use of the Hoopl package
    for dataflow analysis.  Hoopl is a new boot package, and is maintained
    in a separate upstream git repository (as usual, GHC has its own
    lagging darcs mirror in http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/hoopl).
    
    During this merge I squashed recent history into one patch.  I tried
    to rebase, but the history had some internal conflicts of its own
    which made rebase extremely confusing, so I gave up. The history I
    squashed was:
    
      - Update new codegen to work with latest Hoopl
      - Add some notes on new code gen to cmm-notes
      - Enable Hoopl lag package.
      - Add SPJ note to cmm-notes
      - Improve GC calls on new code generator.
    
    Work in this branch was done by:
       - Milan Straka <fox@ucw.cz>
       - John Dias <dias@cs.tufts.edu>
       - David Terei <davidterei@gmail.com>
    
    Edward Z. Yang <ezyang@mit.edu> merged in further changes from GHC HEAD
    and fixed a few bugs.
