Without proper testing on Windows I'd advocate for keeping it to LandingPads only.

For where to put it, right now I'd say there's not a good place for it and we may want to create a new file. Clang has `llvm-project/clang/lib/CodeGen/CGException.cpp` for all of it's EH support structure but EH on LLVM is very haphazard (I suspect because outside of correctness there was not much optimization thought put into it).

I would support adding a `llvm/lib/Analysis/Exceptions.cpp` (or whatever name makes sense) like `llvm/lib/Analysis/EHPersonalities.cpp` exists. Otherwise, if we don't want to add another file I would place it in `Function.h/cpp` since technically we can consider this calculating a property of the function.
