[llvm-dev] LLVM IR Debugger

[Siddharth Bhat via llvm-dev]

You can attach debug info to the Llvm module about LLVM IR, at which point
one can throw the executable into any debugger and get llvm level debugging.

I've started a patch to revive this feature (DebugIR pass). I've been
sidetracked the past month, but I'll come back to it soon :)
