The size savings are significant, and from what I can tell, both ICC and GCC do this.

See r230786 and r230794 for similar changes to gep and load
respectively.
Call is a bit different because it often doesn't have a single explicit
type - usually the type is deduced from the arguments, and just the
return type is explicit. In those cases there's no need to change the
IR.
When that's not the case, the IR usually contains the pointer type of
the first operand - but since typed pointers are going away, that
representation is insufficient so I'm just stripping the "pointerness"
of the explicit type away.
This does make the IR a bit weird - it /sort of/ reads like the type of
the first operand: "call void () %x(" but %x is actually of type "void
()*" and will eventually be just of type "ptr". But this seems not too
bad and I don't think it would benefit from repeating the type
("void (), void () * %x(" and then eventually "void (), ptr %x(") as has
been done with gep and load.
This also has a side benefit: since the explicit type is no longer a
pointer, there's no ambiguity between an explicit type and a function
that returns a function pointer. Previously this case needed an explicit
type (eg: a function returning a void() function was written as
"call void () () * @x(" rather than "call void () * @x(" because of the
ambiguity between a function returning a pointer to a void() function
and a function returning void).
No ambiguity means even function pointer return types can just be
written alone, without writing the whole function's type.
This leaves /only/ the varargs case where the explicit type is required.
Given the special type syntax in call instructions, the regex-fu used
for migration was a bit more involved in its own unique way (as every
one of these is) so here it is. Use it in conjunction with the apply.sh
script and associated find/xargs commands I've provided in rr230786 to
migrate your out of tree tests. Do let me know if any of this doesn't
cover your cases & we can iterate on a more general script/regexes to
help others with out of tree tests.
About 9 test cases couldn't be automatically migrated - half of those
were functions returning function pointers, where I just had to manually
delete the function argument types now that we didn't need an explicit
function type there. The other half were typedefs of function types used
in calls - just had to manually drop the * from those.

Similar to gep (r230786) and load (r230794) changes.
Similar migration script can be used to update test cases, which
successfully migrated all of LLVM and Polly, but about 4 test cases
needed manually changes in Clang.
(this script will read the contents of stdin and massage it into stdout
- wrap it in the 'apply.sh' script shown in previous commits + xargs to
apply it over a large set of test cases)

The coalescer is supposed to clean these up, but when setting up parameters
for a function call, there may be copies to physregs. If the defining
instruction has been LICM'ed far away, the coalescer won't touch it.
The register allocation hint does not always work - when the register
allocator is backtracking, it clears the hints.
This patch takes care of a few more cases that r90163 missed.

with SUBREG_TO_REG, teach SimpleRegisterCoalescing to coalesce
SUBREG_TO_REG instructions (which are similar to INSERT_SUBREG
instructions), and teach the DAGCombiner to take advantage of this on
targets which support it. This eliminates many redundant
zero-extension operations on x86-64.
This adds a new TargetLowering hook, isZExtFree. It's similar to
isTruncateFree, except it only applies to actual definitions, and not
no-op truncates which may not zero the high bits.
Also, this adds a new optimization to SimplifyDemandedBits: transform
operations like x+y into (zext (add (trunc x), (trunc y))) on targets
where all the casts are no-ops. In contexts where the high part of the
add is explicitly masked off, this allows the mask operation to be
eliminated. Fix the DAGCombiner to avoid undoing these transformations
to eliminate casts on targets where the casts are no-ops.
Also, this adds a new two-address lowering heuristic. Since
two-address lowering runs before coalescing, it helps to be able to
look through copies when deciding whether commuting and/or
three-address conversion are profitable.
Also, fix a bug in LiveInterval::MergeInClobberRanges. It didn't handle
the case that a clobber range extended both before and beyond an
existing live range. In that case, multiple live ranges need to be
added. This was exposed by the new subreg coalescing code.
Remove 2008-05-06-SpillerBug.ll. It was bugpoint-reduced, and the
spiller behavior it was looking for no longer occurrs with the new
instruction selection.

%reg1028<def> = EXTRACT_SUBREG %reg1027<kill>, 1
%reg1029<def> = MOV8rr %reg1028
%reg1029<def> = SHR8ri %reg1029, 7, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>
insert => %reg1030<def> = MOV8rr %reg1028
%reg1030<def> = ADD8rr %reg1028<kill>, %reg1029<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>
In this case, it might not be possible to coalesce the second MOV8rr
instruction if the first one is coalesced. So it would be profitable to
commute it:
%reg1028<def> = EXTRACT_SUBREG %reg1027<kill>, 1
%reg1029<def> = MOV8rr %reg1028
%reg1029<def> = SHR8ri %reg1029, 7, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>
insert => %reg1030<def> = MOV8rr %reg1029
%reg1030<def> = ADD8rr %reg1029<kill>, %reg1028<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>
