(see the change adding fp8 support to APFloat: https://reviews.llvm.org/D133823)
The purpose of this patch is to add the two FP8 data types (E5M2 and E4M3) to the LLVM. This is the first step towards adding high level FP8 support. The consequent steps will enable the target specific codegen datatype lowerings.
Update: The RFC is posted here: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/add-llvm-type-support-for-fp8-data-types-f8e4m3-and-f8e5m2/67598
