Hi Will, is the focus of this BoF on shipping current target-dependent
LLVM IR or does it also encompass proposals for a more target-agnostic
format such as that proposed on PNaCl (and perhaps you're proposing
something similar in allvm - I saw the hVISC poster in the PACT
proceedings)?

Thanks,

Alex
