Changes in directory llvm/lib/Target/X86:

InstSelectSimple.cpp updated: 1.58 -> 1.59
X86InstrBuilder.h updated: 1.2 -> 1.3

---
Log message:


lib/Target/X86/InstSelectSimple.cpp: Start counting arguments with 2,
 because arguments start two stack slots off of EBP. Break out of the
 for loop once the argument is found. Increment the counter at the end
 of the loop instead of the beginning. Use addRegOffset and compute
 the scale * index part at compile time instead of using the fancy
 load instruction. Just because an instruction set has wacky addressing
 modes doesn't mean we ought to use them (at least, if you believe Dave
 Patterson).

lib/Target/X86/X86InstrBuilder.h: Add some comments.

test/Regression/Jello/test-loadstore.ll:  Let main return int 0.
