Michael Kuperstein e88a021bf4 [X86] ABI change for x86-32: pass 3 vector arguments in-register instead of 4, except on Darwin.
This changes the ABI used on 32-bit x86 for passing vector arguments. 
Historically, clang passes the first 4 vector arguments in-register, and additional vector arguments on the stack, regardless of platform. That is different from the behavior of gcc, icc, and msvc, all of which pass only the first 3 arguments in-register.
The 3-register convention is documented, unofficially, in Agner's calling convention guide, and, officially, in the recently released version 1.0 of the i386 psABI.

Darwin is kept as is because the OS X ABI Function Call Guide explicitly documents the current (4-register) behavior.

This fixes PR21510
