I've pushed these three.

As explained in the inline commit, I've found an edge case where I could
hit an assert in LLVM when using a more efficient interaction with
on-disk files. That appears to be a spurious assert, but I don't want
to ignore it until that's confirmed from the LLVM side of things.

For now LLVM is enabled by default when compiled --with-llvm. I'm mildly
inclined to leave it like that until shortly before the release, and
then disable it by default (i.e. change the default of jit=off). But I
think we can make that decision based on experience during the testing
window. I'm opening an open items entry for that.

Yay. Also: Tired.
