Cover letter [PATCH RFC 0/6] Bump minimum supported version of LLVM to 11.0.0

This patch series raises the minimum supported version of LLVM to 11.0.0.

Patch #1 outlines the issue, goes over the potential impact of the change, and does the actual bump. Subsequent patches clean up the various checks that are always true after the bump.

I have marked this revision as RFC to give various parties the option to comment on this bump before it is done, namely KernelCI and Linaro's LKFT, who are still testing clang-10. I have added some other folks to CC that I know are testing with clang to see if this impacts them in any way (as I would like to impact as few people as possible) but as far as I am aware, most other CIs and developers are testing closer to tip of tree. If that is not true, scream so that we can see what can be done about that. If I missed anyone who is actively testing with clang, please key them in and I will make sure to include them in future revisions (if any are needed).

It probably makes sense for this series to live in -mm.
