The idea is to segregate Objective-C "object" pointers from general C pointers (utilizing the recently added ObjCObjectPointerType). The fun starts in Sema::GetTypeForDeclarator(), where "SomeInterface *" is now represented by a single AST node (rather than a PointerType whose Pointee is an ObjCInterfaceType). Since a significant amount of code assumed ObjC object pointers where based on C pointers/structs, this patch is very tedious. It should also explain why it is hard to accomplish this in smaller, self-contained patches.
This patch does most of the "heavy lifting" related to moving from PointerType->ObjCObjectPointerType. It doesn't include all potential "cleanups". The good news is additional cleanups can be done later (some are noted in the code). This patch is so large that I didn't want to include any changes that are purely aesthetic.
By making the ObjC types truly built-in, they are much easier to work with (and require fewer "hacks"). For example, there is no need for ASTContext::isObjCIdStructType() or ASTContext::isObjCClassStructType()! We believe this change (and the follow-up cleanups) will pay dividends over time.
Given the amount of code change, I do expect some fallout from this change (though it does pass all of the clang tests). If you notice any problems, please let us know asap! Thanks.

Remove ASTContext parameter from DeclContext's methods. This change cascaded down to other Decl's methods and changes to call sites started "escalating".
Timings using pre-tokenized "cocoa.h" showed only a ~1% increase in time run between and after this commit.

variables in ObjC's Next runtime mode. Next runtime also implicitly applies
'used' attribute on some of its meta-data. This results in two
'llvm.used' arrays to be generated, and one of them is renamed to
'llvm.used1'.

It currently requires a patches to GNU libobjc (and so is not enabled by default) which are currently
being tested and reviewed by GNUstep before being pushed upstream.
This patch does not allow support for synthesized ivars, but does provide the infrastructure
needed for supporting them.

"This patch is a first pass at adding support for exceptions for the GNU runtime. There are a few limitations at present:
- @synchronized() is not yet supported at all. gcc currently emits calls to runtime library functions that don't exist for this directive.
- Only id @catch statements are currently working. This is enough for NS_DURING and friends, but I need to spend more time reading the output from gcc -S to work out how it finds the class pointer to make arbitrary class type catch statements work.
- I've tested it with a few common cases[1] and the clang test suite (which doesn't test exceptions for the GNU runtime, but shows I haven't broken anything else), but there are probably a lot of cases I've missed."

The attached diff fixes the //FIXME in message send to super. This
should now be faster, and works in the presence of class posing. This
is now the same approach as used in GCC (the earlier code was a quick
hack to get something working).

methods, class methods, and property implementations) and instead
place all of these entities into the DeclContext.
This eliminates more linear walks when looking for class or instance
methods and should make PCH (de-)serialization of ObjCDecls trivial
(and lazy).

- For now, this means we are always doing the address computations by
hand instead of constructing a proper GEP. Right now, however, this
is less important than having fewer entry points to dealing with
Objective-C interface layout.
