+ deduce the instruction size, without having to specify it with
+ e.g. ``.inst.w`` as before.

Changes to the X86 Target
-------------------------
- During this release ...
+* The calling convention for the ``f80`` data type on MinGW targets has been
+ fixed. Normally, the calling convention for this type is handled within
clang,
+ but if an intrinsic is used, which LLVM expands into a libcall, the
+ proper calling convention needs to be supported in LLVM as well. (Note,
+ on Windows, this data type is only used for long doubles in MinGW
+ environments - in MSVC environments, long doubles are the same size as
+ normal doubles.)
