Add new interface that allows removal of some code from the code generators,

provides for future extensibility, might help the LLVA project avoid having to
hack their own LLI, and provides support required for the experimental Venus
project.

+// having to modify all of the target-machines to support the new intrinsic.
+// Later, as desired, code generators can incrementally add support for
+// particular intrinsic functions, as desired, to generate better code.
+//
+// If a code generator cannot handle or does not know about an intrinsic
+// function, it will use the intrinsic lowering interface to change an intrinsic
+// function name into a concrete function name which can be used to implement
+// the functionality of the intrinsic.  For example, llvm.acos can be
+// implemented as a call to the math library 'acos' function if the target
+// doesn't have hardware support for the intrinsic, or if it has not yet been
+// implemented yet.
+//
+// Another use for this interface is the addition of domain-specific intrinsics.
+// The default implementation of this interface would then lower the intrinsics
+// to noop calls, allowing the direct execution of programs with instrumentation
+// or other hooks placed in them.  When a specific tool or flag is used, a
+// different implementation of these interfaces may be used, which activates the
+// intrinsics in some way.
