  * NCG: Split up the native code generator into arch specific modules
- nativeGen/Instruction defines a type class for a generic instruction set. Each of the instruction sets we have, X86, PPC and SPARC are instances of it. - The register alloctors use this type class when they need
      info about a certain register or instruction, such as
      regUsage, mkSpillInstr, mkJumpInstr, patchRegs..
- nativeGen/Platform defines some data types enumerating the architectures and operating systems supported by the native code generator. - DynFlags now keeps track of the current build platform, and the PositionIndependentCode module uses this to decide what
      to do instead of relying of #ifdefs.
- It's not totally retargetable yet. Some info info about the
      build target is still hardwired, but I've tried to contain
      most of it to a single module, TargetRegs.
- Moved the SPILL and RELOAD instructions into LiveInstr. - Reg and RegClass now have their own modules, and are shared
      across all architectures.

Nice going Ben!  This was long overdue.

Cheers,
        Simon
