This could be potentially nasty for someone maintaining an out-of-tree backend; needs to be noted in the release notes and announced on llvmdev.

I'm not sure it's fair to say ADDC/ADDE are deprecated; I mean, yes, x86 has used ADDCARRY for a long time, but most in-tree backends don't, and the lack of glue makes lowering more complicated. But I think this makes sense anyway; operations which aren't consistently available across most targets, like this, shouldn't default to Legal.

There are numerous problem with ADDC/ADDE and the sub equivalent, specifically because they are glues :) In addition, it doesn't really simplify much because there is still UADDO and friend to support, regardless.

That being said, you are correct, I should mention this in the release note and warn on the ML.
