The benchmarking summarized in
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-May/113525.html showed
this is beneficial for a wide range of cores.
As is to be expected, quite a few small adaptations are needed to the
regressions tests, as the difference in scheduling results in:
- Quite a few small instruction schedule differences.
- A few changes in register allocation decisions caused by different
instruction schedules.
- A few changes in IfConversion decisions, due to a difference in
instruction schedule and/or the estimated cost of a branch mispredict.

There is not an official documented ABI for frame pointers in Thumb2,
but we should try to emit something which is useful.
We use r7 as the frame pointer for Thumb code, which currently means
that if a function needs to save a high register (r8-r11), it will get
pushed to the stack between the frame pointer (r7) and link register
(r14). This means that while a stack unwinder can follow the chain of
frame pointers up the stack, it cannot know the offset to lr, so does
not know which functions correspond to the stack frames.
To fix this, we need to push the callee-saved registers in two batches,
with the first push saving the low registers, fp and lr, and the second
push saving the high registers. This is already implemented, but
previously only used for iOS. This patch turns it on for all Thumb2
targets when frame pointers are required by the ABI, and the frame
pointer is r7 (Windows uses r11, so this isn't a problem there). If
frame pointer elimination is enabled we still emit a single push/pop
even if we need a frame pointer for other reasons, to avoid increasing
code size.
We must also ensure that lr is pushed to the stack when using a frame
pointer, so that we end up with a complete frame record. Situations that
could cause this were rare, because we already push lr in most
situations so that we can return using the pop instruction.

We can only perform a tail call to a callee that preserves all the
registers that the caller needs to preserve.
This situation happens with calling conventions like preserver_mostcc or
cxx_fast_tls. It was explicitely handled for fast_tls and failing for
preserve_most. This patch generalizes the check to any calling
convention.

We need to be careful on which registers can be explicitly handled
via copies. Prologue, Epilogue use physical registers and if one belongs
to the set of CSRsViaCopy, it will no longer be CSRed, since PEI overwrites
it after the explicit copies.

When we have a single basic block, the explicit copy-back instructions should
be inserted right before the terminator. Before this fix, they were wrongly
placed at the beginning of the basic block.
