[LLVMdev] LLVM2.2 x64 JIT trouble on VStudio build

Hi Chuck,

It's hard to tell what's wrong without having a way to reproduce it  
since it's on Windows. Can you dump out IR's at various places to help  
debugging this? You can start by dumping out machine instructions and  
then go back backwards if necessary.
