Ok, thanks.

So I started updating llvm_compile_expr() for handling the new
ExprEvalSteps that the patch adds to ExecExprInterp(), but quickly
realized that code could have been consolidated into less code, or
IOW, into fewer new ExprEvalSteps.  So, I refactored things that way
and am now retrying adding the code to llvm_compile_expr() based on
new, better consolidated, code.

Here's the updated version, without the llvm pieces, in case you'd
like to look at it even in this state.  I'll post a version with llvm
pieces filled in tomorrow.   (I have merged the different patches into
one for convenience.)
