The x86_mmx type is used for MMX intrinsics, parameters and
return values where these use MMX registers, and is also
supported in load, store, and bitcast.
Only the above operations generate MMX instructions, and optimizations
do not operate on or produce MMX intrinsics.
MMX-sized vectors <2 x i32> etc. are lowered to XMM or split into
smaller pieces. Optimizations may occur on these forms and the
result casted back to x86_mmx, provided the result feeds into a
previous existing x86_mmx operation.
The point of all this is prevent optimizations from introducing
MMX operations, which is unsafe due to the EMMS problem.

out of sync with regular cc.
The only difference between the tail call cc and the normal
cc was that one parameter register - R9 - was reserved for
calling functions through a function pointer. After time the
tail call cc has gotten out of sync with the regular cc.
We can use R11 which is also caller saved but not used as
parameter register for potential function pointers and
remove the special tail call cc on x86-64.

to be returned in DL. LLVM's multiple-return-value support is
not ABI-conforming; front-ends that wish to have code emitted
that conforms to an ABI are currently expected to make
arrangements for this on their own rather than assuming that
multiple-return-values will automatically do the right thing.
This commit doesn't fundamentally change this situation.

delegates to the regular x86-32 convention which handles byval, but only
after it handles a few cases, and it's necessary to handle byval before
handling those cases. This fixes PR3122 (and rdar://6400815), llvm-gcc
miscompiling LLVM.

its size). Adjust various lowering functions to
pass this info through from CallInst. Use it to
implement sseregparm returns on X86. Remove
X86_ssecall calling convention.

On Darwin / Linux x86-32, v8i8, v4i16, v2i32 values are passed in MM[0-2].
On Darwin / Linux x86-32, v1i64 values are passed in memory.
On Darwin x86-64, v8i8, v4i16, v2i32 values are passed in XMM[0-7].
On Darwin x86-64, v1i64 values are passed in 64-bit GPRs.

This allows us to compile fp-stack-2results.ll into:
_test:
fldz
fld1
ret
which returns 1 in ST(0) and 0 in ST(1). This is needed for x86-64
_Complex long double.

the right register. With this change trampolines
work on x86-64 (thanks to Luke Guest for providing
access to an x86-64 box).

in favour of teaching CCAssignToStack that size 0 and/or align
0 means to use the ABI values. This seems a neater solution.
It is safe since no legal value type has size 0.
