Hi Eric,

Thanks for the response.  I can set up a branch in the LLVM repository.
How do I do this?  Will commit messages from the branch go to
llvm-commits?

Also, I have been maintaining a public branch of this backend as
part of the Mesa project, so if you are interested you can find ~5
months of development history here:

Thanks,
Tom
