   LLVM API changes are:</p>

--->
+<li>The biggest and most pervasive change is that llvm::Type's are no longer
+    returned or accepted as 'const' values.  Instead, just pass around non-const
+    Type's.</li>
+  
+<li><code>PHINode::reserveOperandSpace</code> has been removed. Instead, you
+  must specify how many operands to reserve space for when you create the
+  PHINode, by passing an extra argument into <code>PHINode::Create</code>.</li>
+
+<li>PHINodes no longer store their incoming BasicBlocks as operands. Instead,
+  the list of incoming BasicBlocks is stored separately, and can be accessed
+  with new functions <code>PHINode::block_begin</code>
+  and <code>PHINode::block_end</code>.</li>
+
+<li>Various functions now take an <code>ArrayRef</code> instead of either a pair
+  of pointers (or iterators) to the beginning and end of a range, or a pointer
+  and a length. Others now return an <code>ArrayRef</code> instead of a
+  reference to a <code>SmallVector</code> or <code>std::vector</code>. These
+  include:
