Yes, it have been submitted and poked to the llvm-dev mailinglist frome
time to time:
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2009-January/019661.html  
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2009-May/022101.html

I could try post the patch on llvm-commit mailing list instead and see
if it can get accepted for inclusion from there.

Cheers
