whitequark, who might know more about the (non-)plans of getting the
backend upstream. I also don't know of anyone having tried to build
the openrisc kernel with LLVM, would certainly be an interesting thing
to try.

I keep the OR1K backend up-to-date and generally in good shape (e.g.
I've got exception handling work and added all missing instructions
to the internal assembler) but upstreaming it is many weeks of work
that I personally cannot spare, and the LLVM community requests that
those who upstream backends maintain buildbots running hardware tests
indefinitely, which I personally cannot afford.
