// "Fast" instruction selection is designed to emit very poor code quickly.
// Also, it is not designed to be able to do much lowering, so most illegal
// types (e.g. i64 on 32-bit targets) and operations (e.g. calls) are not
// supported. It is also not intended to be able to do much optimization,
// except in a few cases where doing optimizations reduces overall compile
// time (e.g. folding constants into immediate fields, because it's cheap
// and it reduces the number of instructions later phases have to examine).

// "Fast" instruction selection is able to fail gracefully and transfer

// The intended use for "fast" instruction selection is "-O0" mode
// compilation, where the quality of the generated code is irrelevant when
// weighed against the speed at which the code can be generated. Also,
// weighed against the speed at which the code can be generated. Also,
// at -O0, the LLVM optimizers are not running, and this makes the
// compile time of codegen a much higher portion of the overall compile

// Basic operations are supported in a target-independent way, by reading
// the same instruction descriptions that the SelectionDAG selector reads,
// and identifying simple arithmetic operations that can be directly selected
// from simple operators. More complicated operations currently require
