+If you're running on a linux system that supports the "<a
+href="http://www.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de/~rguenth/linux/binfmt_misc.html">binfmt_misc</a>"
+module, and you have root access on the system, you can set your system up to
+execute LLVM bytecode files directly.  To do this, use commands like this (the
+first command may not be required if you are already using the module):</p>
+
+<pre>
+   $ mount -t binfmt_misc none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
+   $ echo ':llvm:M::llvm::/path/to/lli:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
+   $ chmod u+x hello.bc                (if needed)
+   $ ./hello.bc
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+This allows you to execute LLVM bytecode files directly.  Thanks to Jack
+Cummings for pointing this out!
