There was a change to the attributes API that broke compilation of the
Baggy Bounds instrumentation pass. I fixed it so that it compiles again,
but I haven't tested it. Can you test it and make sure I didn't break
anything?

I also merged in mainline Clang to bring in fixes to use the new
attributes API. The build now works for me on Linux.
