        <pre>Following from the bug report detected in Rust when using LLVM:

<a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/llvm-dev/upPBDqUOLF4">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/llvm-dev/upPBDqUOLF4</a>

ARMFastIsel doesn't recognise the lack of BLX in ARMv4 sub-architecture when
generating calls.

This commit has added support for global values call but forgot to consider
ARMv4 in the code:

+  if (!GV){
+    CallOpc = isThumb2 ? ARM::tBLXr : ARM::BLX;
+    CalleeReg = getRegForValue(Callee);
+    if (CalleeReg == 0) return false;
+  }

Currently, ARMFastISel::ARMEmitLibcal calls ARMSelectCallOp, which is
implemented similarly:

unsigned ARMFastISel::ARMSelectCallOp(bool UseReg) {                            
  if (UseReg)                                                                   
    return isThumb2 ? ARM::tBLXr : ARM::BLX;                                    
  else                                                                          
    return isThumb2 ? ARM::tBL : ARM::BL;                                       
}

which may need to be adapted to cope with ARMv4 hardware, but also be a bit
smarter about what the target is, not only the operand type.</pre>
