Hi Andrew,

sorry for replying only now but yesterday was public holiday here and
I am still only in the process of recovering from a long weekend.

While the only objection I have is the C++ style comment in
config/gcn/gcn.c, another problem, for me at least...

...is that I do not have llvm linker at hand and without it I did not
manage to make the patch produce loadable code.  Because ROCm 1.5 has
been released today, I will update our environment, which is a bit
obsolete, get llvm ld and try again.  This might take me a few days,
so please bear with me for a little more, I would like to make sure it
works on carrizos.

Thanks,

Martin
