New Revision: 153767

URL: http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=153767&view=rev
Log:
Removed the "add memory safety checks" to LLVM project because several projects
(including ASAN which is part of LLVM, SAFECode, and SoftBound) provide this
feature.  It would be better to enhance these projects than implement something
new.
Left the project about using LLVM in Valgrind because that's a separate
project; however, I fixed a typo in that project description.
