Why should the LLVM IR be platform independent? Like object files, the ll 
bitcode files are platform dependent. Of course, there must be a way to 
address processor specific instructions. Intrinsics are used for that 
purpose. If you want processor specific optimizations, then LL cannot be 
platform independent.
