[LLVMdev] RFC: Separate machine IR from lib/CodeGen into lib/MIR

[Quentin Colombet]

+1.

Could those two be subdirectories of one “Machine-Related-Stuff” directory?
E.g.,
MachineStuff/IR
MachineStuff/CodeGen

Where MachineStuff is something meaningful :).

That way, they keep a logic bound, more formal than the naming convention.

My 2c.
