ghc-7.10 branch regression

[George Colpitts]

yes wrt b) making a one-character fix of 3.6 to 3.5 on the ghc-7.10 branch
sound like the right thing to me.

wrt a) my understanding is that for 7.10.2 we will also use llvm 3.5 as in
7.10.1

For 7.12.1 and forward we will also have one supported llvm version per
release which  right now for 7.12.1 is 3.6 but could become 3.7

The plan for llvm for 7.12.1and later is given in
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ImprovedLLVMBackend.
