- One missing argument for OAlloc.
- One reference shuffling.

The IR generated by calls was very bulky because two
instructions were used for marking the live range of
a clobber.
This patch attempts to store the information of what
registers are use/def/clobber in the call instruction
itself, this leads to more compact code (even more
when we'll have SSE registers). However, I find that
the amount of extra code needed is not really
easonable. Fortunately it is not too invasive, thus
if the complexity creeps in, it should be easy to
revert.

I add the dual to dummy uses: dummy defs. They
are compiled to nothing, but help preserving the
invariants I had when writing the register
allocator.
Clearly, there should be a better way.

The parser now has some code to parse the description
of structured types.
I tried to be even less specific than LLVM "type" by
creating just enough abstraction so that I can deal
with both AARCH64 and x64. The base types used in the
definition of an aggregate are really just syntactic sugar
to give a structure a size and an alignment. Only the
location of float components matters for the compilation.
In particular this means that the front-ends have to know
how the ABI works to pass/return small integer types.
This also means that the font-end has to be aware of the
layout of structures.
Chris Lattner has a proposition [1] for LLVM that is still
pending and goes in the direction of giving more control
of the ABI the front-end.

It would be nicer to have some kind of subtyping where a
l variable can be used in place of a w variable but it is
more complications than a truncation insutruction.
In some cases, it might be less efficient than the above
solution by requiring two registers instead of one.
(I.e when both the truncated variable and the long variable
live together.)
We have to see what are the usage patterns.

In emit, I worked a little to make sure that framesz works
when we change the size of the svec array (if we need more
alignments).

This is a hack implementation, ideally I would like
something cleaner. The problem is that regalloc thinks
an instruction is dead code because it's not aware that
it writes to eflags.

It seems that the MEM reference type is
meaningless in too many positions.
Because of this, it is unclear if we
should keep it or just introduce a
OAddr instruction that only accepts
slots.
Regardless of the above, the spilling
module needs to use the new slot_()
function, also, the emit function needs
to fetch the size of the stack frame
from the slot[] array.
The naming is still very transitional,
here is a list of all bogus names I can
think of:
- SLOT()
- Tmp.spill
- slot_

I've been septic since I introduced it, this commit
proves that it costs more than it helps. I've also fixed
a bad bug in rega() where I alloc'ed the wrong size for
internal arrays. Enums now have names so I can use them
to cast in gdb to get the name corresponding to a constant.

In the future they will be eliminated by
constant propagation.

It was not as simple as I thought. All constants
used in 32b context get truncated to 32 bits.
All constants in 64b contexts can either remain
as immutables are have to be evicted in a register,
this choice is taken in noimm(). The case of the
comparison needs to be documented since the context
is not clearly 32 or 64 bits.
I am still unsure if this is fully correct.
