all of the features in the current working draft of the upcoming C++
standard, provisionally named C++1y.
The code generator's performance is greatly increased, and the loop
auto-vectorizer is now enabled at -Os and -O2 in addition to -O3. The
PowerPC backend has made several major improvements to code generation
quality and compile time, and the X86, SPARC, ARM32, Aarch64 and SystemZ
backends have all seen major feature work.

upcoming 3.3 release (branching and freezing expected in a few weeks).

An MFC is planned once the actual 3.3 release is finished.
There are several bugfixes in this update, but the most important one is
to ensure __start_ and __stop_ symbols for linker sets and kernel module
metadata are always emitted in object files:
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=9292
Before this fix, if you compiled kernel modules with clang, they would
not be properly processed by kldxref, and if they had any dependencies,
the kernel would fail to load those. Another problem occurred when
attempting to mount a tmpfs filesystem, which would result in 'operation
not supported by device'.
