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.

This is not just a matter of passing in the target triple from the module;
currently backends are making decisions based on the build and host
architecture. The goal is to migrate to making these decisions based off of the
triple (in conjunction with the feature string). Thus most clients pass in the
target triple, or the host triple if that is empty.
This has one important change in the way behavior of the JIT and llc.
For the JIT, it was previously selecting the Target based on the host
(naturally), but it was setting the target machine features based on the triple
from the module. Now it is setting the target machine features based on the
triple of the host.
For LLC, -march was previously only used to select the target, the target
machine features were initialized from the module's triple (which may have been
empty). Now the target triple is taken from the module, or the host's triple is
used if that is empty. Then the triple is adjusted to match -march.
The take away is that -march for llc is now used in conjunction with the host
triple to initialize the subtarget. If users want more deterministic behavior
from llc, they should use -mtriple, or set the triple in the input module.

the only real caller (GetFunctionSizeInBytes) uses it.
The custom ARM implementation of this is basically reimplementing
an assembler poorly for negligible gain. It should be removed
IMNSHO, but I'll leave that to ARMish folks to decide.

getLSDASection() to be more specific. This makes it pretty obvious
that the ELF LSDA section is being specified wrong in PIC mode. We're
probably getting a lot of startup-time relocations to a readonly page,
which is expensive and bad.
Someone who cares about ELF C++ should investigate this.

compute it based on what it knows. As part of this, rename getSectionForMergeableConstant
to getSectionForConstant because it works for non-mergable constants also.
The only functionality change from this is that Xcore will start dropping
its jump tables into readonly section instead of data section in -static mode.
This should be fine as the linker resolves the relocations. If this is a
problem, let me know and we'll come up with another solution.

should have no state that is specific to particular globals in the
section. In this case, it means the removal of the "isWeak" and
"ExplicitSection" bits. MCSection uses the new form of SectionKind.
To handle isWeak, I introduced a new SectionInfo class, which is
SectionKind + isWeak, and it is used by the part of the code generator
that does classification of a specific global.
The ExplicitSection disappears. It is moved onto MCSection as a new
"IsDirective" bit. Since the Name of a section is either a section
or directive, it makes sense to keep this bit in MCSection. Ultimately
the creator of MCSection should canonicalize (e.g.) .text to whatever
the actual section is.

thing is #if0'd out anyway. Just simplify the code by reducing the interface.
Not deleting this is essential for Bill's continuing happiness.

and convert code to using it, instead of having lots of things
poke the isLookupPtrRegClass() method directly.
2. Make PointerLikeRegClass contain a 'kind' int, and store it in
the existing regclass field of TargetOperandInfo when the
isLookupPtrRegClass() predicate is set. Make getRegClass pass
this into TargetRegisterInfo::getPointerRegClass(), allowing
targets to have multiple ptr_rc things.

it is highly specific to the object file that will be generated in the end,
this introduces a new TargetLoweringObjectFile interface that is implemented
for each of ELF/MachO/COFF/Alpha/PIC16 and XCore.
Though still is still a brutal and ugly refactoring, this is a major step
towards goodness.
This patch also:
1. fixes a bunch of dangling pointer problems in the PIC16 backend.
2. disables the TargetLowering copy ctor which PIC16 was accidentally using.
3. gets us closer to xcore having its own crazy target section flags and
pic16 not having to shadow sections with its own objects.
4. fixes wierdness where ELF targets would set CStringSection but not
CStringSection_. Factor the code better.
5. fixes some bugs in string lowering on ELF targets.
