same as a normal i80 {low64, high16} rather
than its own {high64, low16}. A depressing number
of places know about this; I think I got them all.
Bitcode readers and writers convert back to the old
form to avoid breaking compatibility.

linkage: this linkage type only applies to declarations,
but ODR is only relevant to globals with definitions.

and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions,
except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden
by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can
be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently.
This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any
deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since
the definition could be replaced by something completely different
at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR
(One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at
link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original
function. If a language knows that a function or other global can
only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the
weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it
is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The
code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage
to the same thing.

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.

- return attributes - inreg, zext and sext
- parameter attributes
- function attributes - nounwind, readonly, readnone, noreturn
Return attributes use 0 as the index.
Function attributes use ~0U as the index.
This patch requires corresponding changes in llvm-gcc and clang.

This sets the stage
- to implement function notes as function attributes and
- to distinguish between function attributes and return value attributes.
This requires corresponding changes in llvm-gcc and clang.

bitcode reader/writer as follows:
- add and use new bitcode FUNC_CODE_INST_VSELECT to handle the llvm
select opcode using either i1 or [N x i1] as the selector.
- retain old BITCODE FUNC_CODE_INST_SELECT in the bitcode reader to
handle select on i1 for backwards compatibility with existing bitcode
files.
- re-enable the vector-select.ll test program.
Also, rename the recently added bitcode opcode FUNC_CODE_INST_VCMP to
FUNC_CODE_INST_CMP2 and make the bitcode writer use it to handle
fcmp/icmp on scalars or vectors. In the bitcode writer, use
FUNC_CODE_INST_CMP for vfcmp/vicmp only. In the bitcode reader, have
FUNC_CODE_INST_CMP handle icmp/fcmp returning bool, for backwards
compatibility with existing bitcode files.

way it handles the type of the condition is breaking plain
scalar select in the case that the value is a
forward-reference.

and, if so, to return a vector of boolean as a result;
Extend the select LLVM IR instruction to allow you to specify a result
type which is a vector of boolean, in which case the result will be an
element-wise selection instead of choosing one vector or the other; and
Update LangRef.html to describe these changes.
