Is there a convention for how the LLVM community prefers to have conditional compilation in code intended to be checked in to llvm.org? Our goal is a single code base that can support multiple LLVM revisions, including LLVM TOT. In the long run, of course, we'll simply be able to refer to the backend revision that corresponds to the revision of LLVM in use. If fixes between TOT and that older
