Hi,

I've just created a new branch for the AMDGPU backend in the SVN repo at
branches/R600, and I will begin pushing changes to that branch regularly.
I'm hoping that this branch will help to transition the backend from the
Mesa tree into the LLVM tree, so any feedback on the branch from LLVM
developers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom Stellard
