A major part of its (eventual) goal is to support a much cleaner separation between disassembly callbacks
provided by the target and the disassembler emitter itself, i.e. not requiring hardcoding of knowledge in tblgen
like the existing disassembly emitters do.
The hope is that some day this will allow us to replace the existing non-Thumb ARM disassembler and remove
some of the hacks the old one introduced to tblgen.

Use the same COPY_TO_REGCLASS approach as for the 2-register *_sfp instructions.
This change made a big difference in the code generated for the
CodeGen/Thumb2/cross-rc-coalescing-2.ll test: The coalescer is still doing
a fine job, but some instructions that were previously moved outside the loop
are not moved now. It's using fewer VFP registers now, which is generally
a good thing, so I think the estimates for register pressure changed and that
affected the LICM behavior. Since that isn't obviously wrong, I've just
changed the test file. This completes the work for Radar 8711675.

'db', 'ib', 'da') instead of having that mode as a separate field in the
instruction. It's more convenient for the asm parser and much more readable for
humans.

(I discovered 2 more copies of the ARM instruction format list, bringing the
total to 4!! Two of them were already out of sync. I haven't yet gotten into
the disassembler enough to know the best way to fix this, but something needs
to be done.) Add support for encoding these instructions.

Add explicit testcases for tail calls within the same module.
Duplicate some code to humor those who think .w doesn't apply on ARM.
Leave this disabled on Thumb1, and add some comments explaining why it's hard
and won't gain much.

call must not be callee-saved; following x86, add a new
regclass to represent this. Also fixes a couple of bugs.
Still disabled by default; Thumb doesn't work yet.

A temporary flag -arm-tail-calls defaults to off,
so there is no functional change by default.
Intrepid users may try this; simple cases work
but there are bugs.

We are bound to fail! For proper disassembly, the well-known encoding bits
of the instruction must be fully specified.
This also removes pseudo instructions from considerations of disassembly,
which is a better design and less fragile than the name matchings.

such that the non-VFP versions have no implicit defs of VFP registers.
If any callee-saved VFP registers are marked as having been defined, the
prologue/epilogue code will try to save and restore them.

and the disassembler core which invokes the decoder function and builds up the
