Comment (by rwbarton):

 angerman has a patch implementing 1 at Phab:D3287.

 We should actually be able to implement 2 by generating symbols that point
 to the start of info tables with some inline assembly
 (http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#module-level-inline-assembly)
 {{{
 module asm ".set foo_info_start, foo - 12"
 module asm ".global foo_info_start"
 }}}
