This will currently accept the old number of bytes syntax, and convert
it to a scalar. This should be removed in the near future (I think I
converted all of the tests already, but likely missed a few).
Not sure what the exact syntax and policy should be. We can continue
printing the number of bytes for non-generic instructions to avoid
test churn and only allow non-scalar types for generic instructions.
This will currently print the LLT in parentheses, but accept parsing
the existing integers and implicitly converting to scalar. The
parentheses are a bit ugly, but the parser logic seems unable to deal
without either parentheses or some keyword to indicate the start of a
type.
Summary:
- Remove the no longer used Darwin CalleeSavedRegs
- Combine the SVR464 callee saved regs and AIX64 since the two are (and should be) identical into PPC64
- Update tests for 64-bit CSR change

The new behavior matches GNU objdump. A pair of angle brackets makes tests slightly easier.
`.foo:` is not unique and thus cannot be used in a `CHECK-LABEL:` directive.
Without `-LABEL`, the CHECK line can match the `Disassembly of section`
line and causes the next `CHECK-NEXT:` to fail.
```
Disassembly of section .foo:
0000000000001634 .foo:

Extends the desciptor-based indirect call support for 32-bit codegen,
and enables indirect calls for AIX.
In-depth Description:
In a function descriptor based ABI, a function pointer points at a
descriptor structure as opposed to the function's entry point. The
descriptor takes the form of 3 pointers: 1 for the function's entry
point, 1 for the TOC anchor of the module containing the function
definition, and 1 for the environment pointer:
struct FunctionDescriptor {
void *EntryPoint;
void *TOCAnchor;
void *EnvironmentPointer;
};
An indirect call has several steps of loading the the information from
the descriptor into the proper registers for setting up the call. Namely
it has to:
1) Save the caller's TOC pointer into the TOC save slot in the linkage
area, and then load the callee's TOC pointer into the TOC register
(GPR 2 on AIX).
2) Load the function descriptor's entry point into the count register.
3) Load the environment pointer into the environment pointer register
(GPR 11 on AIX).
4) Perform the call by branching on count register.
5) Restore the caller's TOC pointer after returning from the indirect call.
A couple important caveats to the above:
- There is no way to directly load a value from memory into the count register.
Instead we populate the count register by loading the entry point address into
a gpr and then moving the gpr to the count register.
- The TOC restore has to come immediately after the branch on count register
instruction (i.e., the 1st instruction executed after we return from the
call). This is an implementation limitation. We could, in theory, schedule
the restore elsewhere as long as no uses of the TOC pointer fall in between
the call and the restore; however, to keep it simple, we insert a pseudo
instruction that represents both the indirect branch instruction and the
load instruction that restores the caller's TOC from the linkage area. As
they flow through the compiler as a single pseudo instruction, nothing can be
inserted between them and the caller's TOC is then valid at any use.
