Which reminds me: should we look into getting a patch into llvm'd ghc calling convention so that on avx2 capable machines so we can eventually add support for the 256bit Ymm resisters and primops to ghc? We really should make sure it's patched in on the llvm side first.
I believe it'd be a 2 line patch, might even be something we could get into the next llvm point release if there's a clear agreement about it too. Thoughts? I'm happy to put a ticket on trac for this andor do the leg work to make it happen if everyone agrees.
