When using the ARM AAPCS, HFAs (Homogeneous Floating-point Aggregates) must
be passed in a block of consecutive floating-point registers, or on the stack.
This means that unused floating-point registers cannot be back-filled with
part of an HFA, however this can currently happen. This patch, along with the
corresponding clang patch (http://reviews.llvm.org/D3083) prevents this.

* CPRCs may be allocated to co-processor registers or the stack – they may never be allocated to core registers
* When a CPRC is allocated to the stack, all other VFP registers should be marked as unavailable
The difference is only noticeable in rare cases where there are a large number of floating point arguments (e.g.
7 doubles + additional float, double arguments). Although it's probably still better to avoid vmov as it can cause
stalls in some older ARM cores. The other, more subtle benefit, is to minimize difference between the various
calling conventions.

According to the AAPCS, when a CPRC is allocated to the stack, all other
VFP registers should be marked as unavailable.
I have also modified the rules for allocating non-CPRCs to the stack, to make
it more explicit that all GPRs must be made unavailable. I cannot think of a
case where the old version would produce incorrect answers, so there is no test
for this.

This function-attribute modifies the callee-saved register list and function
epilogue (specifically the return instruction) so that a routine is suitable
for use as an interrupt-handler of the specified type without disrupting
user-mode applications.

This is purely academic because GHC calls are always tail calls so the register mask will never be used; however, this change makes the code clearer and brings the ARM implementation of the GHC calling convention in line with the X86 implementation. Also, it might save someone else some time trying to figuring out what is happening...

-- C.4 and C.5 statements, when NSAA is not equal to SP.
-- C.1.cp statement for VA functions. Note: There are no VFP CPRCs in a
variadic procedure.
Before this patch "NSAA != 0" means "don't use GPRs anymore ". But there are
some exceptions in AAPCS.
1. For non VA function: allocate all VFP regs for CPRC. When all VFPs are allocated
CPRCs would be sent to stack, while non CPRCs may be still allocated in GRPs.
2. Check that for VA functions all params uses GPRs and then stack.
No exceptions, no CPRCs here.

registers. Previously, the register we being marked as implicitly defined, but
not killed. In some cases this would cause the register scavenger to spill a
dead register.
Also, use an empty register mask to simplify the logic and to reduce the memory
footprint.

callee's responsibility to sign or zero-extend the return value. The additional
test case just checks to make sure the calls are selected (i.e., -fast-isel-abort
doesn't assert).

Without this what was happening was:
* R3 is not marked as "used"
* ARM backend thinks it has to save it to the stack because of vaarg
* Offset computation correctly ignores it
* Offsets are wrong
