Each Calling convention (CC) defines a static list of registers that should be preserved by a callee function. All other registers should be saved by the caller.
Some CCs use additional condition: If the register is used for passing/returning arguments – the caller needs to save it - even if it is part of the Callee Saved Registers (CSR) list.
The current LLVM implementation doesn’t support it. It will save a register if it is part of the static CSR list and will not care if the register is passed/returned by the callee.
The solution is to dynamically allocate the CSR lists (Only for these CCs). The lists will be updated with actual registers that should be saved by the callee.
Since we need the allocated lists to live as long as the function exists, the list should reside inside the Machine Register Info (MRI) which is a property of the Machine Function and managed by it (and has the same life span).
The lists should be saved in the MRI and populated upon LowerCall and LowerFormalArguments.
The patch will also assist to implement future no_caller_saved_regsiters attribute intended for interrupt handler CC.

Bonus change to remove emacs major mode marker from SystemZMachineFunctionInfo.cpp because emacs already knows it's C++ from the extension. Also fix typo "appeary" in AMDGPUMCAsmInfo.h.

- This patch fixes the bug described in
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2013-May/062343.html
The fix allocates an extra slot just below the GPRs and stores the base pointer
there. This is done only for functions containing llvm.eh.sjlj.setjmp that also
need a base pointer. Because code containing llvm.eh.sjlj.setjmp saves all of
the callee-save GPRs in the prologue, the offset to the extra slot can be
computed before prologue generation runs.
Impact at run-time on affected functions is::
- One extra store in the prologue, The store saves the base pointer.
- One extra load after a llvm.eh.sjlj.setjmp. The load restores the base pointer.
Because the extra slot is just above a gap between frame-pointer-relative and
base-pointer-relative chunks of memory, there is no impact on other offset
calculations other than ensuring there is room for the extra slot.
