Arthur Eubanks 1feb00a28c [X86] Introduce a large data threshold for the medium code model
Currently clang's medium code model treats all data as large, putting them in a large data section and using more expensive instruction sequences to access them.

Following gcc's -mlarge-data-threshold, which allows putting data under a certain size in a normal data section as opposed to a large data section. This allows using cheaper code sequences to access some portion of data in the binary (which will be implemented in LLVM in a future patch).

And under the medium codel mode, only put data above the large data threshold into large data sections, not all data.

This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM,
a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers,
optimizers, and runtime environments.

LLVM is open source software. You may freely distribute it under the terms of
the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt.

Please see the documentation provided in docs/ for further
assistance with LLVM, and in particular docs/GettingStarted.rst for getting
started with LLVM and docs/README.txt for an overview of LLVM's
documentation setup.
