  I believe you're reading [1], right? The step you're asking about is
making tool like `llvm-as`
be able to recognize and parser the type you added, just like original
LLVM primitive type
i8, float, void, ... etc.

  Please search Type in LLLexer.cpp/LLLexer.h and
LLParser.cpp/LLParser.h. For example,
take look on LLParser::ParseType.
