[llvm-dev] DebugInfo work contribution and update.

[David Blaikie via llvm-dev]

Yeah, there are a few places/times/situation where LLVM's emitted empty

priority/pretty benign in the grand scheme of things - certainly if anyone
wants to clean them up, that's great, makes reading dumps easier, etc)
