I do not think this is necessary. LDC can implement most
of D1 just fine on top of LLVM. The omissions are minor:

Exposing particular features of the backend to the user
should be done through compiler-specific extensions. See
http://www.dsource.org/projects/ldc/wiki/InlineAsmExpressions
for an example.
Otherwise you'll make implementing a correct backend
for D even harder.
It's the other way around. We need to remove the places where DMD's
backend is exposed in the language. It's reassuring that LDC has been
made without finding many such cases.
