1. There is now a "PAListPtr" class, which is a smart pointer around
the underlying uniqued parameter attribute list object, and manages
its refcount. It is now impossible to mess up the refcount.
2. PAListPtr is now the main interface to the underlying object, and
the underlying object is now completely opaque.
3. Implementation details like SmallVector and FoldingSet are now no
longer part of the interface.
4. You can create a PAListPtr with an arbitrary sequence of
ParamAttrsWithIndex's, no need to make a SmallVector of a specific
size (you can just use an array or scalar or vector if you wish).
5. All the client code that had to check for a null pointer before
dereferencing the pointer is simplified to just access the
PAListPtr directly.
6. The interfaces for adding attrs to a list and removing them is a
bit simpler.
Phase #2 will rename some stuff (e.g. PAListPtr) and do other less
invasive changes.

a direct call with cast parameters and cast return
value (if any), instcombine was prepared to cast any
non-void return value into any other, whether castable
or not. Add a new predicate for testing whether casting
is valid, and check it both for the return value and
(as a cleanup) for the parameters.

calls 'nounwind'. It is important for correct C++
exception handling that nounwind markings do not get
lost, so this transformation is actually needed for
correctness.

calls. Remove special casing of inline asm from the
inliner. There is a potential problem: the verifier
rejects invokes of inline asm (not sure why). If an
asm call is not marked "nounwind" in some .ll, and
instcombine is not run, but the inliner is run, then
an illegal module will be created. This is bad but
I'm not sure what the best approach is. I'm tempted
to remove the check in the verifier...

regions of memory that have a target specific relationship, as described in the
Embedded C Technical Report.
This also implements the 2007-12-11-AddressSpaces test,
which demonstrates how address space attributes can be used in LLVM IR.
In addition, this patch changes the bitcode signature for stores (in a backwards
compatible manner), such that the pointer type, rather than the pointee type, is
encoded. This permits type information in the pointer (e.g. address space) to be
preserved for stores.
LangRef updates are forthcoming.

attribute. Likewise, mark intrinsics as readnone/readonly
and get rid of special aliasing logic (which didn't use
anything more than this anyway).

the function type, instead they belong to functions
and function calls. This is an updated and slightly
corrected version of Reid Spencer's original patch.
The only known problem is that auto-upgrading of
bitcode files doesn't seem to work properly (see
test/Bitcode/AutoUpgradeIntrinsics.ll). Hopefully
a bitcode guru (who might that be? :) ) will fix it.
