the processor keeps a return addresses stack (RAS) which stores the address
and the instruction execution state of the instruction after a function-call
type branch instruction.
Calling a "noreturn" function with normal call instructions (e.g. bl) can
corrupt RAS and causes 100% return misprediction so LLVM should use a
unconditional branch instead. i.e.
mov lr, pc
b _foo
The "mov lr, pc" is issued in order to get proper backtrace.

undefined result. This adds new ISD nodes for the new semantics,
selecting them when the LLVM intrinsic indicates that the undef behavior
is desired. The new nodes expand trivially to the old nodes, so targets
don't actually need to do anything to support these new nodes besides
indicating that they should be expanded. I've done this for all the
operand types that I could figure out for all the targets. Owners of
various targets, please review and let me know if any of these are
incorrect.
Note that the expand behavior is *conservatively correct*, and exactly
matches LLVM's current behavior with these operations. Ideally this
patch will not change behavior in any way. For example the regtest suite
finds the exact same instruction sequences coming out of the code
generator. That's why there are no new tests here -- all of this is
being exercised by the existing test suite.
Thanks to Duncan Sands for reviewing the various bits of this patch and
helping me get the wrinkles ironed out with expanding for each target.
Also thanks to Chris for clarifying through all the discussions that
this is indeed the approach he was looking for. That said, there are
likely still rough spots. Further review much appreciated.

When this field is true it means that the load is from constant (runt-time or compile-time) and so can be hoisted from loops or moved around other memory accesses

with a vector condition); such selects become VSELECT codegen nodes.
This patch also removes VSETCC codegen nodes, unifying them with SETCC
nodes (codegen was actually often using SETCC for vector SETCC already).
This ensures that various DAG combiner optimizations kick in for vector
comparisons. Passes dragonegg bootstrap with no testsuite regressions
(nightly testsuite as well as "make check-all"). Patch mostly by
Nadav Rotem.

In other words, do not keep track of argument's location. The debugger (gdb) is not prepared to see line table entries for arguments. For the debugger, "second" line table entry marks beginning of function body.
This requires some coordination with debugger to get this working.
- The debugger needs to be aware of prolog_end attribute attached with line table entries.
- The compiler needs to accurately mark prolog_end in line table entries (at -O0 and at -O1+)

support for the case where alignment<value size.
These cases were silently miscompiled before this patch.
Now they are overly verbose -especially storing is- and
any front-end should still avoid misaligned memory
accesses as much as possible. The bit juggling algorithm
added here probably has some room for improvement still.

The old algorithm inserted a 'rotqmbyi' instruction which was
both redundant and wrong - it made shufb select bytes from the
wrong end of the input quad.

Before the implementation of isLegalAddressingMode, some rare cases
of code were miscompiled if optimized with the LoopStrengthReduce pass.
It is unclear (to me) if LSR is "allowed" to produce wrong code with a
bad TargetLowering, or if the bug is elsewhere and this patch just
hides it.

"getFixedStack" on the MachinePointerInfo class. While
this isn't the problem I'm setting out to solve, it is the
right way to eliminate PseudoSourceValue, so lets go with it.

The "half vectors" are now widened to full size by the legalizer.
The only exception is in parameter passing, where half vectors are
expanded. This causes changes to some dejagnu tests.
