Reid Spencer 47857812e2 For PR950:
Three changes:
1. Convert signed integer types to signless versions.
2. Implement the @sext and @zext parameter attributes. Previously the
   type of an function parameter was used to determine whether it should
   be sign extended or zero extended before the call. This information is
   now communicated via the function type's parameter attributes.
3. The interface to LowerCallTo had to be changed in order to accommodate
   the parameter attribute information. Although it would have been
   convenient to pass in the FunctionType itself, there isn't always one
   present in the caller. Consequently, a signedness indication for the
   result type and for each parameter was provided for in the interface
   to this method. All implementations were changed to make the adjustment
   necessary.

// Random ideas for the ARM backend.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Consider implementing a select with two conditional moves:

cmp x, y
moveq dst, a
movne dst, b

----------------------------------------------------------


%tmp1 = shl int %b, ubyte %c
%tmp4 = add int %a, %tmp1

compiles to

add r0, r0, r1, lsl r2

but

%tmp1 = shl int %b, ubyte %c
%tmp4 = add int %tmp1, %a

compiles to
mov r1, r1, lsl r2
add r0, r1, r0

---------------------------------------------------------
%tmp1 = shl int %b, ubyte 4
%tmp2 = add int %a, %tmp1

compiles to

mov r2, #4
add r0, r0, r1, lsl r2

should be

add r0, r0, r1, lsl #4

----------------------------------------------------------

add an offset to FLDS/FLDD/FSTD/FSTS addressing mode

----------------------------------------------------------

the function

void %f() {
entry:
	call void %g( int 1, int 2, int 3, int 4, int 5 )
	ret void
}

declare void %g(int, int, int, int, int)

Only needs 8 bytes of stack space. We currently allocate 16.

----------------------------------------------------------

32 x 32 -> 64 multiplications currently uses two instructions. We
should try to declare smull and umull as returning two values.

----------------------------------------------------------

Implement addressing modes 2 (ldrb) and 3 (ldrsb)
