VMKit's your friend! Unfortunately, there's no documentation. Note that 
the unwinding part is done by libgcc, like llvm-gcc.
Also, VMKit uses the same scheme than llvm-gcc for exceptions, so I'm 
not sure what more info you need apart from the docs and what llvm-gcc 
provides. The dwarf output makes it all work magically :)
