This list is a good place.

They are going well.  All of the pieces are now in place: this is now a 
valid llvm snippet:

declare fastcc void %bar(int, float)
void %foo() {
         tail call fastcc void %bar(int 1, float 2.0)
         ret void
}

The remaining piece is to build the code generator components to deal with 
this.  Unfortunately I have been context switching a lot, so I haven't 
made as much progress as I hoped, but I plan to get it done this week (for 
X86).  Whether or not the other target maintainers will implement support 
for it for the release will be up to them.  :)
