Title:	LLVM backend for PyPy's JIT compiler generator
Abstract:	PyPy's JIT currently uses a custom x86 backend as its only native code generator. An LLVM backend would extend PyPy to new platforms and provide a solid suite of low-level optimizations without compromising PyPy's generally high-level approach.
