[LLVMdev] Contributing new backend to LLVM

[Sergei Larin]

Sorry if it sounded like I have questioned the need for these tests - rather
I am trying to gather as much info up-front as I can. 
Maybe that's why some sort of FAQ for backend submission (as Tony pointed)
is not such a bad idea :) 

Thanks everyone for quick responses. Point is taken.

Please look at how all of the existing tests in test/CodeGen/<Target> work
before rejecting the suggestion.
