Keep in mind the LLVM GHC backend still uses the separate Haskell stack and uses a custom calling convention, so LLVM's garbage collection support isn't used at all, it is still a rather strange duck as far as the rest of the LLVM ecosystem is concerned.

* GHC/LLVM bytecode with JIT-option?

There is little preventing this one. -Edward Kmett
