The mere numbers on this tiny snipets look definitely promising.

I also read through http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/LlvmBackend
but I wonder what componentes of the LLVM infrastructure will
eventually make it into GHC.

Will this eg mean

* interoperability between LLVM assemblies for free
* plugable garbage collectors
* GHC/LLVM bytecode with JIT-option?
