There has been universal support for merging it in, so lets do it.  Please start by commiting the llvm part (i.e. lib/Target/ARM64, tests, etc).  We should have a similar discussion on cfe-dev to get those changes reviewed, and commit the clang pieces when that settles out.

The libc++, compiler_rt, and lldb piece should be separately reviewed and explained before they go in.

Thanks Bob (and everyone who worked on the apple arm64 backend!)
