Log:
add some final random notes, I've completed my pass over all the commits.
I'll work on turning this into something intelligible tomorrow.

  X86: inline assembler supports .code32 and .code64.
  Exception handling rewrite: new landingpad and resume instruction.  Unwind gone.
  LowerSetJmp pass removed, unused.
- llvm-objdump (d0k) and object file parsing stuff (mspencer)
+ llvm-objdump / dwarf parser library / llvm-dwarfdump (d0k)
+ object file parsing stuff and llvm-size (mspencer)
+ llvm-cov (devang)
  Old arm disassembler replaced with a new one based on autogenerated encoding information from ARM .td files.
  Frontend tests removed from llvm/test/Frontend* (was this completed for 3.0?)
  Segmented stack support (X86 only?) Rafael and Sanjoy Das: docs/SegmentedStacks.html should be in CodeGen.html status table?

  Codegen now supports vector "select" operations on vector comparisons, turning
    them into various optimized code sequences (e.g. using the SSE4/AVX "blend"
    instructions).
- 
+  #line directives in integrated assembler
+ SSE domain fixing code enabled for AVX (Bruno/Jakob).  Domain fixing pass is
+     now target independent (ExecutionDepsFix pass). (Jakob)
+ X86 backend synthesizes horizontal add/sub instructions from generic code.
+ returns_twice attribute (rafael)
+ Tablegen has been split into a library, clang tblgen pieces now live in clang.
+   The llvm version is now named llvm-tblgen instead of tblgen.
+ X86: Tons of encoding improvements and new instructions (e.g. Atom, Ivy Bridge,
+      and BMI instructions)
+     added to assembler and disassembler (Craig Topper)
+ data layout string can encode the natural alignment of the target's stack for better optimization (LangRef.html#datalayout)
