+  Target Independent Code Gen:
+  The pre-register-allocation (preRA) instruction scheduler models register pressure
+  much more accurately in some cases. This allows the adoption of more
+  aggressive scheduling heuristics.
+  
+  The X86 backend has adopted a new preRA scheduling
+  mode, "list-ilp", to shorten the height of instruction schedules
+  without inducing register spills.
+  
+  The ARM backend preRA scheduler now models machine resources at cycle
+  granularity. This allows the scheduler to both accurately model
+  instruction latency and avoid overcommitting functional units.
