When a frame pointer is not otherwise required, and dynamic stack alignment
is necessary solely due to the spilling of a register with larger alignment
requirements than the default stack alignment, the frame pointer can be both
used as a general purpose register and a frame pointer. That goes poorly, for
obvious reasons. This patch brings back a bit of old logic for identifying
the use of such registers and conservatively reserves the frame pointer
during register allocation in such cases.
For now, implement for X86 only since it's 32-bit linux which is hitting this,
and we want a targeted fix for 2.7. As a follow-on, this will be expanded
to handle other targets, as theoretically the problem could arise elsewhere
as well.

argument. The x86-64 ABI requires the incoming value of %rdi to
be copied to %rax on exit from a function that is returning a
large C struct.
Also, add a README-X86-64 entry detailing the missed optimization
opportunity and proposing an alternative approach.

enabled by passing -tailcallopt to llc. The optimization is
performed if the following conditions are satisfied:
* caller/callee are fastcc
* elf/pic is disabled OR
elf/pic enabled + callee is in module + callee has
visibility protected or hidden
