[LLVMdev] [PATCH] Why isn't __deregister_frame called anywhere in LLVM?

[Yuri]

Please check in an attached patch.

Synopsys of the change: fixed the cleanup process of exception 
information in JIT. Now JIT deregisters registered by it FDE structures 
allowing consecutive JIT runs to succeed.

Note: tools like lli should delete ExecutionEngine object and not the 
module. Module is deleted by ExecutionEngine. Also I am not sure if this 
is proper for the module to be owned by ExecutionEngine. I think they 
should be independently owned.
