This allows the user/front-end to specify a model that is better
than what LLVM would choose by default. For example, a variable
might be declared as
@x = thread_local(initialexec) global i32 42
if it will not be used in a shared library that is dlopen'ed.
If the specified model isn't supported by the target, or if LLVM can
make a better choice, a different model may be used.

Original commit msg:
add the 'alloc' metadata node to represent the size of offset of buffers pointed to by pointers.
This metadata can be attached to any instruction returning a pointer

expression (a * b + c) that can be implemented as a fused multiply-add (fma)
if the target determines that this will be more efficient. This intrinsic
will be used to implement FP_CONTRACT support and an aggressive FMA formation
mode.
If your target has a fast FMA instruction you should override the
isFMAFasterThanMulAndAdd method in TargetLowering to return true.

be non contiguous, non overlapping and sorted by the lower end.
While this is technically a backward incompatibility, every frontent currently
produces range metadata with a single interval and we don't have any pass
that merges intervals yet, so no existing bitcode files should be rejected by
this.

through the use of 'fpmath' metadata. Currently this only provides a 'fpaccuracy'
value, which may be a number in ULPs or the keyword 'fast', however the intent is
that this will be extended with additional information about NaN's, infinities
etc later. No optimizations have been hooked up to this so far.

thinking of generalizing it to be able to specify other freedoms beyond accuracy
(such as that NaN's don't have to be respected). I'd like the 3.1 release (the
first one with this metadata) to have the more generic name already rather than
having to auto-upgrade it in 3.2.

Problem: LLVM needs more function attributes than currently available (32 bits).
One such proposed attribute is "address_safety", which shows that a function is being checked for address safety (by AddressSanitizer, SAFECode, etc).
Solution:
- extend the Attributes from 32 bits to 64-bits
- wrap the object into a class so that unsigned is never erroneously used instead
- change "unsigned" to "Attributes" throughout the code, including one place in clang.
- the class has no "operator uint64 ()", but it has "uint64_t Raw() " to support packing/unpacking.
- the class has "safe operator bool()" to support the common idiom: if (Attributes attr = getAttrs()) useAttrs(attr);
- The CTOR from uint64_t is marked explicit, so I had to add a few explicit CTOR calls
- Add the new attribute "address_safety". Doing it in the same commit to check that attributes beyond first 32 bits actually work.
- Some of the functions from the Attribute namespace are worth moving inside the class, but I'd prefer to have it as a separate commit.
Tested:
"make check" on Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) and Mac (10.6)
built/run spec CPU 2006 on Linux with clang -O2.
This change will break clang build in lib/CodeGen/CGCall.cpp.
The following patch will fix it.

The registers are placed into the saved registers list in the reverse order,
which is why the original loop was written to loop backwards.

input.
I'm terrible at documentation, so comments and suggestions welcome here.

recent discussions. Poison can't make every value that depends on
it act in maximally undefined ways, because the optimizer may still
hoist code following the usual rules for undef. Make Poison invoke
its full undefined behavior only when it reaches an instruction with
externally visible side effects.
