`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``.

* ``IntrinsicEmitter`` no longer depends on ``MachineValueTypes.h``.

* ``Intrinsics.td`` is able to emit definitions of ``TypeSig``.

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

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

* ``llvm-min-tblgen`` is introduced as a minimal subset of
``llvm-tblgen``, whose purpose is to generate fragments of public
LLVM headers during LLVM builds. Building ``llvm-tblgen`` now
depends on ``GenVT.inc``, which is produced by
``llvm-min-tblgen``. ``llvm-min-tblgen`` is an internal LLVM tool
which is not distributed. Users that rely on prebuilt tablegen tools
should use ``llvm-tblgen`` and ignore ``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. Users 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.
