o separate information for reading and writing, because e.g. in a
try-block, only the writes to local variables and parameters are
volatile (they have to be committed immediately in case the next
instruction causes an exception)
o for now, only references to absolute memory addresses are marked
as volatile
o the volatily information is (should be) properly maintained throughout
all code generators for all archictures with this patch
o no optimizers or other compiler infrastructure uses the volatility
information yet
o this functionality is not (yet) exposed at the language level, it
is only for internal code generator use right now

future use by high level code generator targets
o this in turn required that all a_load*_loc* methods are called via
hlcg rather than via cg, since a location can be a subsetref/reg and
and those are no longer handled in tcg
o that then required moving several force_location_* routines into
thlcg because they use a_load_loc*, but did not take tdef size
parameters (which are required by the thlcg a_load_loc* routines)
o the only practical consequence is that from now on, you have to
use hlcg.location_force_mem/reg() (fpureg not yet) and
hlcg.gen_load_loc_cgpara() instead of the removed versions from ncgutil,
and hlcg.a_load*loc*() instead of cg.a_load*loc* if a subsetref/reg
might be involved

+ RTL support:
o VFP exceptions are disabled by default on Darwin,
because they cause kernel panics on iPhoneOS 2.2.1 at least
o all denormals are truncated to 0 on Darwin, because disabling
that also causes kernel panics on iPhoneOS 2.2.1 (probably
because otherwise denormals can also cause exceptions)
* set softfloat rounding mode correctly for non-wince/darwin/vfp
targets
+ compiler support: only half the number of single precision
registers is available due to limitations of the register
allocator
+ added a number of comments about why the stackframe on ARM is
set up the way it is by the compiler
+ added regtype and subregtype info to regsets, because they're
also used for VFP registers (+ support in assembler reader)
+ various generic support routines for dealing with floating point
values located in integer registers that have to be transferred to
mm registers (needed for VFP)
* renamed use_sse() to use_vectorfpu() and also use it for
ARM/vfp support
o only superficially tested for Linux (compiler compiled with -Cpvfpv6
-Cfvfpv2 works on a Cortex-A8, no testsuite run performed -- at least
the fpu exception handler still needs to be implemented), Darwin has
been tested more thoroughly
+ added ARMv6 cpu type and made it default for Darwin/ARM
+ ARMv6+ implementations of atomic operations using ldrex/strex
* don't use r9 on Darwin/ARM, as it's reserved under certain
circumstances (don't know yet which ones)
* changed C-test object files for ARM/Darwin to ARMv6 versions
* check in assembler reader that regsets are not empty, because
instructions with a regset operand have undefined behaviour in that
case
* fixed resultdef of tarmtypeconvnode.first_int_to_real in case of
int64->single type conversion
* fixed constant pool locations in case 64 bit constants are generated,
and/or when vfp instructions with limited reach are present
WARNING: when using VFP on an ARMv6 or later cpu, you *must* compile all
code with -Cparmv6 (or higher), or you will get crashes. The reason is
that storing/restoring multiple VFP registers must happen using
different instructions on pre/post-ARMv6.

alignment for each memory reference (mantis #12137, and
test/packages/fcl-registry/tregistry1.pp on sparc). This also
enables better code generation for packed records in many cases.
o several changes were made to the compiler to minimise the chances
of accidentally forgetting to set the alignment of memory references
in the future:
- reference_reset*() now has an extra alignment parameter
- location_reset() can now only be used for non LOC_(C)REFERENCE,
use location_reset_ref() for those (split the tloc enum so the
compiler can catch errors using range checking)
