The Boehm collector (http://www.hboehm.info/gc/) appears to offer what you're describing. In fact, it looks like it's what Crystal added in 2013 to implement its original garbage collection:

I'm familiar with it but it's not at all what I'm looking for. It's a library to "retrofit" GC into a C or other native program.

I'm looking for something to plug into LLVM's GC mechanisms to be used for new languages.
