`RFC <https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-ffat-lto-objects-support/63977>`_
for more details.

* ``ValueTypes.td`` is made richer to represent attributes for
``MVT``.

* ``Intrinsics.td`` is able to emit definitions of
``TypeSig``. ``IntrinsicEmitter`` doesn't depend on
``MachineValueTypes.h`` anymore.

* ``llvm/CodeGen/MachineValueType.h`` is moved from ``llvm/Support``.
It uses values defined in ``ValueTypes.td``.

Changes to building LLVM
------------------------

* ``llvm-min-tblgen`` is internally introduced to build LLVM public
headers. Note that ``llvm-tblgen`` depends on `GenVT.inc` that is
generated by ``llvm-min-tblgen``. Specify the external
``llvm-tblgen`` for ``LLVM_TABLEGEN`` when you use prebuilt tablegen
tools, since ``llvm-tblgen`` is built as the superset of
``llvm-min-tblgen``.

Changes to TableGen
-------------------

* Named arguments are supported. Arguments can be specified in the form of
``name=value``.

* Each tablegen backend can declare itself as self-contained with
``llvm::TableGen::Emitter`` as the registry. You don't need to
append entries and options to ``TableGen.cpp``. For now, It is
applied only to ``llvm-tblgen``.

* The new bang operator ``!range(m, n)`` is introduced.

* A list subscript ``list_var[i]`` accepts not only immutable values
but also expressions.

* A list slice ``list_foo[list_bar]`` accepts ``list<int>``
expressions.

Changes to Optimizations
