It would be great to have this in LLVM mainline.  As others have pointed out though, we can only do this is you're willing to license the code under the UIUC license.  More specific terms are described here:
http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html

More specifically:
http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#license

Are you willing to release this under the UIUC license?  If not, unfortunately we can't include it in the LLVM distros, which would be a real shame :-(
