llvm dev - Jun 2015 - [LLVMdev] R600 -> AMDGPU rename coming on Friday

Hi,

I'm finally going to do the R600->AMDGPU rename this Friday.  This is
something
I originally proposed last July [1], but had to put off in order to avoid
creating really bad merge headaches for some users.  The only change from
my original proposal is that I'll just keep the existing r600 and amdgcn
triples rather than adding a new one for amdgpu.  If anyone has any
strong objections to me doing this on Friday, please let me know.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,

I imagine you're going to wait until 3.6.2 final is out, to make it
easier for emergency backports.

Otherwise, looks good to me.

cheers,

Not quite, I'm going to do it just before the deadline to propose new
patches
for 3.6.2.  It's unlikely I will need to backport anything after that,
and if I do, it may be a pain, but it won't be impossible.
