With the SVR4 ABI on PowerPC, vector arguments for vararg calls are passed differently depending on whether they are a fixed or a variable argument. Variable vector arguments always go into memory, fixed vector arguments are put
into vector registers. If there are no free vector registers available, fixed vector arguments are put on the stack.
The NumFixedArgs attribute allows to decide for an argument in a vararg call whether it belongs to the fixed or variable portion of the parameter list.

have the alignment be calculated up front, and have the back-ends obey whatever
alignment is decided upon.
This allows for future work that would allow for precise no-op placement and the
like.

C bindings. Change all the backend "Initialize" functions to have C linkage.
Change the "llvm/Config/Targets.def" header to use C-style comments to avoid
compile warnings.

initialization of all targets (InitializeAllTargets.h) or assembler
printers (InitializeAllAsmPrinters.h). This is a step toward the
elimination of relinked object files, so that we can build normal
archives.

booleans. This gives a better indication of what the "addReg()" is
doing. Remembering what all of those booleans mean isn't easy, especially if you
aren't spending all of your time in that code.
I took Jakob's suggestion and made it illegal to pass in "true" for the
flag. This should hopefully prevent any unintended misuse of this (by reverting
to the old way of using addReg()).

Massive check in. This changes the "-fast" flag to "-O#" in llc. If you want to
use the old behavior, the flag is -O0. This change allows for finer-grained
control over which optimizations are run at different -O levels.
Most of this work was pretty mechanical. The majority of the fixes came from
verifying that a "fast" variable wasn't used anymore. The JIT still uses a
"Fast" flag. I'll change the JIT with a follow-up patch.

and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions,
except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden
by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can
be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently.
This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any
deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since
the definition could be replaced by something completely different
at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR
(One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at
link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original
function. If a language knows that a function or other global can
only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the
weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it
is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The
code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage
to the same thing.

them are generic changes.
- Use the "fast" flag that's already being passed into the asm printers instead
of shoving it into the DwarfWriter.
- Instead of calling "MI->getParent()->getParent()" for every MI, set the
machine function when calling "runOnMachineFunction" in the asm printers.

and into the ScheduleDAGInstrs class, so that they don't get
destructed and re-constructed for each block. This fixes a
compile-time hot spot in the post-pass scheduler.
To help facilitate this, tidy and do some minor reorganization
in the scheduler constructor functions.

promote from i1 all the way up to the canonical SetCC type.
In order to discover an appropriate type to use, pass
MVT::Other to getSetCCResultType. In order to be able to
do this, change getSetCCResultType to take a type as an
argument, not a value (this is also more logical).
