yup! its exciting. 

we were talking about this a bit earlier today on #haskell-llvm, and it sounds doable. 

There were some concerns that folks had, but hopefully we can give the llvm devs feedback about this before its finalized in LLVM 3.4 so it doesn't come with any performance caveats for ghc.

This looks pretty exiting for LLVM IR-generation:

GHC 7.10 might generate LLVM IR including embedded tables without
resorting to linker tricks/postprocessing when targeting LLVM 3.4!

The relevant LLVM bug is http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=14080

and GHC Trac: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4213

Cheers,
