Yes, that's right. Jello was the code name for the original LLVM JIT,
which has now been incorporated with the interpreter. The main "JIT"
machinery is now located in tools/lli/JIT, and the X86 specific parts are
in lib/Target/X86. Note that the JIT also has support for the Sparc
architecture as well. :)
I'll update the README.
