The approach I took was to pretend that they didn't exist for most of the compiler backend, then have DelaySlotFiller create them right before the asmprinter ran. The idea was to eventually extend DelaySlotFiller to put something better than a nop in them :)

Then you can make it virtual, and have the sparc backend provide its own implementation of it (which might as well just return false all the time).

Thanks Nathan, I applied these as r96492 / r96493. Sorry for the delay, do you have commit access?  If not, please contact me offline.
