The way the named arguments for various system instructions are handled at the
moment has a few problems:
- Large-scale duplication between AArch64BaseInfo.h and AArch64BaseInfo.cpp
- That weird Mapping class that I have no idea what I was on when I thought
it was a good idea.
- Searches are performed linearly through the entire list.
- We print absolutely all registers in upper-case, even though some are
canonically mixed case (SPSel for example).
- The ARM ARM specifies sysregs in terms of 5 fields, but those are relegated
to comments in our implementation, with a slightly opaque hex value
indicating the canonical encoding LLVM will use.
This adds a new TableGen backend to produce efficiently searchable tables, and
switches AArch64 over to using that infrastructure.

This patch implements LLVM support for the ACLE special register intrinsics in
section 10.1, __arm_{w,r}sr{,p,64}.
This patch is intended to lower the read/write_register instrinsics, used to
implement the special register intrinsics in the clang patch for special
register intrinsics (see http://reviews.llvm.org/D9697), to ARM specific
instructions MRC,MCR,MSR etc. to allow reading an writing of coprocessor
registers in AArch32 and AArch64. This is done by inspecting the register
string passed to the intrinsic and then lowering to the appropriate
instruction.
