Always use CpuFeaturesImpliedByCompiler() when selecting CPU features. This checks both for CAN_USE_ARMV7_INSTRUCTIONS and CAN_USE_VFP_INSTRUCTIONS and for GCC preprocessor symbols. This will support using the CAN_USE_XXX for a simulator build used for generating a snapshot followed by a crosscompile using -march= and -mfpu= for selecting the (minimal) target device CPU features. The snapshot will use instructions based on the CAN_USE_XXX whereas the target will at least use features based on both CAN_USE_XXX and -march= and -mfpu=, but will try runtime CPU feature detection a well looking for somethis better.
Remove the compiler based CPU feature detection from the OS::CpuFeaturesImpliedByPlatform() as it did not belong there. Also was already in the CpuFeaturesImpliedByCompiler().
Add the variable 'v8_can_use_vfp_instructions' to the GYP file which can be used to turn on CAN_USE_VFP_INSTRUCTIONS when building V8. I did not add any -mfpu= cflags for this, as there are several options here (e.g. vfp and neon).

This is for mobile platforms where application footprint size is
important. To avoid including compression libraries into V8, we assume
that the host machine have them (true for Linux), and rely on embedder
to provide decompressed data.
Currently, only snapshot data can be comressed. It is also possible to
compress libraries sources, but it is more involved and will be
addressed in another CL.

This patch adds common infrastructure for fast TLS support and
implementation on win32. More implementations will be added soon.
Fast TLS is controlled by V8_FAST_TLS define which is enabled by
default in our gyp and scons builds. The scons build has
fasttls={on,off} option so that we can see the effects of slow TLS
when needed.

Fix the shell to not use functions from the v8::internal namespace when building with V8 in a shared library.
Remove the v8_preparser library. The dependencies for this target needs to be resolved after isolates have landed.

Instead of constructing a temporary container for all LOperands of each
instruction, the register works directly on the LIR instructions that
provide an abstract interface for input/output/temp operands.
This saves allocation of zone memory and speeds up LIR construction,
but makes iterating over all uses in the register allocator slightly
more expensive because environment uses are stored in a linked list of
environments. We can fix this by using a flat representation of LOperands.

Instead of spilling and then immediately restoring eax to resolve
memory to memory moves, the gap move resolver now tracks registers
that are known to be free and uses one if available. If not it spills
but restores lazily when the spilled value is needed or at the end of
the algorithm.
Instead of using esi for resolving cycles and assuming it is free to
overwrite because it can be rematerialized, the gap move resolver now
resolves cycles using swaps, possibly using a free register as above.
The algorithm is also changed to be simpler: a recursive depth-first
traversal of the move dependence graph. It uses a list of moves to be
performed (because it mutates the moves themselves), but does not use
any auxiliary structure other than the control stack. It does not
build up a separate list of scheduled moves to be interpreted by the
code generate, but emits code on the fly.

objectprint=on (defaults to off) option (which defines OBJECT_PRINT).
2. Added the ability to print objects to a specified file instead of
just stdout.
3. Added a use_verbose_printer flag (true by default) to allow some
object printouts to be less verbose when the flag is false.
4. Fixed a bug in VSNPrintF() where it can potentially write into an
empty char vector.

This is based on the structore used in chromium with a script wrapping the call to gyp itself and the default processing of common.gypi.
It is possible to build all our targets on Intel Linux for all architectures (ia32, x64 and ARM simulator). When this is committed I wil take a look at Windows.
See the README.txt file in the changelist for the current way of using it.
