I don't believe that there's an expectation of ABI stability for the LLVM C++ interfaces, even in public headers - there's no expectation that you can link against any version of LLVM other than the exact version whose headers you used, unless you use the C interfaces.  As long as this is not in llvm-c, then it shouldn't be an issue.
