+functions that used to accept <tt>ModuleProvider</tt>.  Clients who

+<tt>GVMaterializer</tt> instead and use
+<tt>Module::setMaterializer</tt> to attach it to a

+<li><tt>GhostLinkage</tt> has given up the ghost.
+<tt>GlobalValue</tt>s that have not yet been read from their backing

+Clients must replace calls to
+<tt>GlobalValue::hasNotBeenReadFromBitcode</tt> with
+<tt>GlobalValue::isMaterializable</tt>.</li>
