[llvm-dev] Saturating float-to-int casts

[Bevin Hansson via llvm-dev]

I'm the one who has been working on this patch.

I have noticed the test failures, but I cannot reproduce those when I build and test locally, so I haven't actively tried to do anything about them. I don't put much stock in the pre-land tests, they tend to fail in odd ways.

Looks like a little more activity has happened, and the patch was
rebased, but some unit tests are currently failing (I have no idea how
normal that is but I'm assuming it's a problem - at least the failures
seem related, on the surface anyway).  Seems like the failures are
related to applying these operations to vectors.
