[lldb-dev] r260768 (Removed many JIT workarounds from IRForTarget) broke expression parser with function on Hexagon

I should clarify: it’s expected that there is a FunctionVal there.  This is much better when JITting later on, and the transform from FunctionVal to a function pointer was a hack in IRForTarget.
The IRInterpreter just has to handle FunctionVals, as I just outlined.

In the working case, the Value ID is 0xa – Value::ConstantExprVal. In the failing case, it is 0x5. Since it’s defined in a .def file, I can’t be sure, but my guess is its Value::FunctionVal.
