So, the description of this patch is somewhat misleading. This patch is about creating the fundamental option grouping. Awesome. Not sure how much you can clarify in Phab, but make sure that's clear in the eventual commit log.
Can you add some documentation somewhere about the scheme you're proposing? You can base it somewhat on my email about the driver option categorization, somewhat on rnk's comments. It's all in the same direction. I would at least put this at the top of Options.td so folks understand what is expected going forward.
Second, a lot of my comments below are along the lines of "fix the grouping of options we have to be rational, and then use that to do the CL-opt-in". I think this is really important to make sure we get it right. I suggest doing it now because I think it'll be fairly easy to do. If something explodes into a lot of work, push back! =] I'm happy to convert really hard stuff here to FIXMEs as long as you eventually fix them.
Third, I've left a bunch of comments along the lines of "this option is spelled incorrectly". The reason is this: we need to start splitting the way we think of options into three notional buckets: options we *want* to support, options we *have* to support for compatibility but have a preferred spelling (or prefer to avoid), and options that we consider legacy and will *eventually* remove (where eventually may be on the order of years or decades, *not soon*). Once we start thinking this way, it seems to me we should make sure that only the first and second buckets make it into the new interface we're defining for a Clang-based CL-compatible driver. To that end, many of the existing Clang options that we want to re-export in the CL mode I first want to give the right canonical name, put the old in the deprecated bucket and only re-export the canonical name.
Much of this is make-work, and sorry, but unless it's going to significantly slow you down I think it is important.
Also, *please* don't do it all in this patch. =D I would propose a set of patches as follows:
1) A patch which creates a more rational set of f_Group subdivisions that we can use and updates the various diagnostics to have the right group.
1a) One patch for each of the other *_Group sets which needs subdivision similar to f_Group -- not sure there are any though.
2) A patch which creates new files and moves a few *obvious* flags into them:
- DeprecatedOptions.td (start with a few of the -ccc flags we have better spellings for?)
- GCCCompatOptions.td (only move flags initially which are *never used* by Clang?)
3) One patch per flag you have asked to put into the CL interface here and I have asked for a rename. Fix everything to do with that flag.
4) This patch which adds CLCompatOptions.td and leverages the now rationalized groups.
5) Any general cleanups to the options stuff that I ask for in passing (sorry to ask for these in passing, but always feel free to defer to a later patch).
While this is somewhat more work, I'm hoping it won't be slow work. I can say that the patches will be very fast for me to review. Hopefully some of these steps can be parallelized/pipelined as well.
I have a bunch of detailed comments inline, but defer to my high level comment here if those inline comments don't make sense.

Why order these in this way? Are these values things that must be stable for all time?
If so, omg, why, ok. add some comments.
If not, I would keep NoDriverOption at the end.

This clearly isn't the right approach.
We don't want to auto-include everything in the f_Group and f_clang_Group, but what we can do is split all of the things we *don't* want into their own f_foo_Group. Specifically, I think we should have an f_gcc_compat_Group and f_apple_Group at the very least for the flags that are GCC-compatibility spellings and Apple-specific extensions (-fapple-kext, dunno if there are others). There are probably other rational subdivisions of the f_Group. The way to whitelist the right subset of the current f_Group is to create such a subgroup and then do it in the abstract way.

You should rename this to -fdiagnostics-error-limit and leave this as a compatibility alias IMO. Separate patch of course.
