[LLVMdev] patch for llc/ARM: added mechanism to move switch tables from .text -> .data; also cleanup and documentation

[Evan Cheng]

+cl::opt<std::string> FlagJumpTableSection("jumptable-section",
+                                           cl::init(".data.jtab"));
+

Is this necessary? Why not just put it in the normal data section?

Also "outline" jumptable seems like a strange term. Can you think of  
something else?

Thanks,

Evan
