Dan Gohman 98ca4f2a32 Major calling convention code refactoring.
Instead of awkwardly encoding calling-convention information with ISD::CALL,
ISD::FORMAL_ARGUMENTS, ISD::RET, and ISD::ARG_FLAGS nodes, TargetLowering
provides three virtual functions for targets to override:
LowerFormalArguments, LowerCall, and LowerRet, which replace the custom
lowering done on the special nodes. They provide the same information, but
in a more immediately usable format.

This also reworks much of the target-independent tail call logic. The
decision of whether or not to perform a tail call is now cleanly split
between target-independent portions, and the target dependent portion
in IsEligibleForTailCallOptimization.

This also synchronizes all in-tree targets, to help enable future
refactoring and feature work.

***

add gcc builtins for alpha instructions


***

custom expand byteswap into nifty 
extract/insert/mask byte/word/longword/quadword low/high
sequences

***

see if any of the extract/insert/mask operations can be added

***

match more interesting things for cmovlbc cmovlbs (move if low bit clear/set)

***

lower srem and urem

remq(i,j):  i - (j * divq(i,j)) if j != 0
remqu(i,j): i - (j * divqu(i,j)) if j != 0
reml(i,j):  i - (j * divl(i,j)) if j != 0
remlu(i,j): i - (j * divlu(i,j)) if j != 0

***

add crazy vector instructions (MVI):

(MIN|MAX)(U|S)(B8|W4) min and max, signed and unsigned, byte and word
PKWB, UNPKBW pack/unpack word to byte
PKLB UNPKBL pack/unpack long to byte
PERR pixel error (sum accross bytes of bytewise abs(i8v8 a - i8v8 b))

cmpbytes bytewise cmpeq of i8v8 a and i8v8 b (not part of MVI extentions)

this has some good examples for other operations that can be synthesised well 
from these rather meager vector ops (such as saturating add).
