This combined patch reworks the LLVM backend in a number of ways: 1. Most prominently, we introduce a LlvmM monad carrying the contents of the old LlvmEnv around. This patch completely removes LlvmEnv and refactors towards standard library monad combinators wherever possible. 2. Support for streaming - we can now generate chunks of Llvm for Cmm as it comes in. This might improve our speed. 3. To allow streaming, we need a more flexible way to handle forward references. The solution (getGlobalPtr) unifies LlvmCodeGen.Data and getHsFunc as well. 4. Skip alloca-allocation for registers that are actually never written. LLVM will automatically eliminate these, but output is smaller and friendlier to human eyes this way. 5. We use LlvmM to collect references for llvm.used. This allows places other than cmmProcLlvmGens to generate entries.
