[FYI] LLVM: function prefix data (a.k.a. tables-next-to-code) committed

[Carter Schonwald]

yup! its exciting.

we were talking about this a bit earlier today on #haskell-llvm, and it
sounds doable.
There were some concerns that folks had, but hopefully we can give the llvm
devs feedback about this before its finalized in LLVM 3.4 so it doesn't
come with any performance caveats for ghc.
