  testsuite: remove obsolete --ci option from the testsuite driver
  
  This patch removes the obsolete `--ci` option from the testsuite
  driver: neither the CI scripts nor hadrian ever invokes the testsuite
  driver with `--ci`, and the perf notes are always fetched to the
  `refs/notes/perf` local reference anyway.

  Use libffi-clib
  
  Previously, we would build libffi via hadrian
  and bundle it manually with the GHC bindist.
  
  This now moves all that logic out of hadrian
  and allows us to have a clean Haskell package
  to build and link against and ship it without
  extra logic.
  
  This patch still retains the ability to link
  against a system libffi.
  
  The main reason of bundling libffi was that on
  some platforms (e.g. FreeBSD and Mac), system libffi
  is not visible to the C toolchain by default,
  so users would require settings in e.g. cabal
  to be able to compile anything.
  
  This adds the submodule libffi-clib to the repository.

  NCG/LA64: add support for la664 micro architecture
  
  Add '-mla664' flag to LA664, which has some new features:
  atomic instructions, dbar hints, etc.
  
  'LA464' is the default so that unrecognized instructions are not
  generated.

  compiler: fix regression when compiling foreign stubs in the rts unit
  
  This patch fixes a regression when compiling foreign stubs in the rts
  unit introduced in 05e25647f72bc102061af3f20478aa72bff6ff6e. A simple
  revert would fix it, but it's better to implement a proper fix with
  comment for better understanding of the underlying problem, see the
  added comment for explanation.
