[LLVMdev] cortex-m{3,4} special registers

[Kurt Lidl]

I was attempting to compile some code with a recent (r138716)
version of llvm/clang, targeting a cortex-m4 processor.

And I get an error like this:

CC:  sched_garbage.c
In file included from sched_garbage.c:43:

                mrs    r5, primask
                           ^

This appears to be due to llvm lacking support for the various
cortex-m{3,4} special registers.  ("primask", "faultmask", etc)

Can someone tell me how I would go about adding support for these
special registers?
