Comment (by jeremyhu):

 Apparently, upstream believes 3.4 to be the newest version of LLVM that
 supports ghc-7.8.3.  See maxSupportLlvmVersion in
 compiler/llvmGen/LlvmCodeGen/Base.hs.

 Given that ghc-7.8.3 is about 3 years old and the current release version
 is 8.2.2, can we just bump to a newer version of ghc and its supported
 version of llvm?
