Every function has the address of its frame in the beginning of code section.
The frame address is retrieved and used to pass arguments.

Many targets build placeholder nodes for special operands, e.g.
GlobalBaseReg on X86 and PPC for the PIC base. There's no
sensible way to associate debug info with these. I've left
them built with getNode calls with explicit DebugLoc::getUnknownLoc operands.
I'm not too happy about this but don't see a good improvement;
I considered adding a getPseudoOperand or something, but it
seems to me that'll just make it harder to read.

ReplaceNodeResults: rather than returning a node which
must have the same number of results as the original
node (which means mucking around with MERGE_VALUES,
and which is also easy to get wrong since SelectionDAG
folding may mean you don't get the node you expect),
return the results in a vector.

A brief description about PIC16:
===============================
PIC16 is an 8-bit microcontroller with only one 8-bit register which is the
accumulator. All arithmetic/load/store operations are 8-bit only.
The architecture has two address spaces: program and data. The program memory
is divided into 2K pages and the data memory is divided into banks of 128 byte, with only 80 usable bytes, resulting in an non-contiguous data memory.
It supports direct data memory access (by specifying the address as part of the instruction) and indirect data and program memory access (in an unorthodox fashion which utilize a 16 bit pointer register).
Two classes of registers exist: (8-bit class which is only one
accumulator) (16-bit class, which contains one or more 16 bit
pointer(s))
