This bug is an umbrella for discussion on improvements to the LLVM C API for
LLVM JIT support (both MCJIT and Orc).

The C API for the JIT in LLVM is a little long in the tooth. It still has some
hangovers from the legacy JIT, is still missing support for some MCJIT
functionality, and has no support whatsoever for the Orc JIT. We should
re-evaluate it, determine what (if anything) can be safely removed, and what
new features people would like to see. There is no schedule for this work, but
any changes will be happening in LLVM 3.8 or later.
