[LLVMdev] how to set -pre-ra-sched from code?

[Andrew Friedley]

Sorry for responding to my own message but I would really appreciate 
some help with this.

Looking through the documentation again this morning I noticed that 
setSchedulingPreference is a protected method of LLVMTargetLowering, so 
it looks like it's not something I can call directly anyway. 
Furthermore it's only called from one place with a hard-coded value for 
any particular platform.
