to pass around a struct instead of a large set of individual values. This
cleans up the interface and allows more information to be added to the struct
for future targets without requiring changes to each and every target.

the processor keeps a return addresses stack (RAS) which stores the address
and the instruction execution state of the instruction after a function-call
type branch instruction.
Calling a "noreturn" function with normal call instructions (e.g. bl) can
corrupt RAS and causes 100% return misprediction so LLVM should use a
unconditional branch instead. i.e.
mov lr, pc
b _foo
The "mov lr, pc" is issued in order to get proper backtrace.

sequence of loads and stores was being generated to perform the
copy on the x86 targets if the parameter was less than 4 byte
aligned, causing llc to use up vast amounts of memory and time.
Use a "rep movs" form instead. PR7170.

Move EmitTargetCodeForMemcpy, EmitTargetCodeForMemset, and
EmitTargetCodeForMemmove out of TargetLowering and into
SelectionDAGInfo to exercise this.
