[patch] rfc: -XX:SharkPrintAsmOf llvm2.7 api update

[Xerxes Rånby]

In llvm2.7 svn trunk Chris Lattner added a new API on Aph's request that
would enable and disable debugging output more vigorously.

- new api for us, yay!
The attached patch in this mail makes Shark use this new API for the 
-XX:SharkPrintAsmOf debug option.

Unfortunally there was a small namespaces bug in the implementation of
this new LLVM API and I am waiting for response from Chris reguarding
this issue:

- correspondence
You have to apply the patch on llvm in this correspondence in-order to
build the new patch for icedtea6.

Should i remove the old pre LLVM2.7 support for -XX:SharkPrintAsmOf ?
Currently you need a special patched llvm version to make the option
work at all on older LLVM versions.

Cheers and have a great day!
Xerxes
