According http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=revision&revision=225041

Require LLVM 3.6 and bump version to 0.1.0

Some functions are implemented using hand-written LLVM IR, and
LLVM assembly format is allowed to change between versions, so we
should require a specific version of LLVM.

libclc require LLVM 3.6. Version 3.7 should not work, there is a bug here. I 
should have send the patch long ago.

Regarding the load syntax, I don't know enough on that point
