callee will not introduce any new aliases of that pointer.
The attributes had all bits allocated already, so I decided to collapse
alignment. Alignment was previously stored as a 16-bit integer from bits 16 to
32 of the attribute, but it was required to be a power of 2. Now it's stored in
log2 encoded form in five bits from 16 to 21. That gives us 11 more bits of
space.
You may have already noticed that you only need four bits to encode a 16-bit
power of two, so why five bits? Because the AsmParser accepted 32-bit
alignments, even though we couldn't store them (they were silently discarded).
Now we can store them in memory, but not in the bitcode.
The bitcode format was already storing these as 64-bit VBR integers. So, the
bitcode format stays the same, keeping the alignment values stored as 16 bit
raw values. There's some hideous code in the reader and writer that deals with
this, waiting to be ripped out the moment we run out of bits again and have to
replace the parameter attributes table encoding.

* <sup> cannot appear inside a <pre> - replaced <pre> with <tt> and <br>
* Added standard "Notes" section
* Sprinkled fixed-width <tt> tags in a few places for consistency

Fix the shift amount when unrolling a vector shift into scalar shifts.
Fix problem in getShuffleScalarElt where it assumes that the input of
a bit convert must be a vector.

to allow the "safe" backend to be run with a different path, and/or
with different command-line options.
This enables the following use cases:
- bugpoint llc against an llc command from a different build
- bugpoint llc against the same llc with different command-line options
- and more...
Also, document the existing "custom" interpreter options.

value. It must now be as if the pointer were allocated and has not escaped to
the caller. Thanks to Dan Gohman for pointing out the error in the original
and helping devise this definition.

indicate functions that allocate, such as operator new, or list::insert. The
actual definition is slightly less strict (for now).
No changes to the bitcode reader/writer, asm printer or verifier were needed.
