I have some concerns about this as we are potentially making it impossible to use the P5600 scheduler (in a release version of LLVM) because someone happens to hit an instruction that did not get triggered in any testing of p5600. 99% of the scheduler would be OK in that environment with just a few corner cases of bad scheduling information.

Do other architectures set CompleteModel to '1'? If so then fine otherwise can you make a production/release build of the compiler just generate a warning if it hits a missing instruction (but continue) and have a debug compiler abort (or something along the same lines)? Just trying to make sure we don't end up with this scheduler being in place but unusable because of a corner case. Bearing in mind that if one file in an application can't build with the p5600 scheduler then many build systems will need to turn it off for all files.
