This pass was conservative in that it always reserved the FP to enable dynamic
stack realignment, which allowed the RA to use aligned spills for vector
registers. This happens even when spills were not necessary. The RA has
since been improved to use unaligned spills when necessary.
The new behavior is to realign the stack if the frame pointer was already
reserved for some other reason, but don't reserve the frame pointer just
because a function contains vector virtual registers.

It is intended to fix PR11468.
Old prologue and epilogue looked like this:
push %rbp
mov %rsp, %rbp
and $alignment, %rsp
push %r14
push %r15
...
pop %r15
pop %r14
mov %rbp, %rsp
pop %rbp
The problem was to reference the locations of callee-saved registers in exception handling:
locations of callee-saved had to be re-calculated regarding the stack alignment operation. It would
take some effort to implement this in LLVM, as currently MachineLocation can only have the form
"Register + Offset". Funciton prologue and epilogue are now changed to:
push %rbp
mov %rsp, %rbp
push %14
push %15
and $alignment, %rsp
...
lea -$size_of_saved_registers(%rbp), %rsp
pop %r15
pop %r14
pop %rbp

This patch causes problems when both dynamic stack realignment and
dynamic allocas combine in the same function. With this patch, we no
longer build the epilog correctly, and silently restore registers from
the wrong position in the stack.
Thanks to Matt for tracking this down, and getting at least an initial
test case to Chad. I'm going to try to check a variation of that test
case in so we can easily track the fixes required.
