+  llvm.memcpy.*, llvm.memset.*, llvm.memmove.* (and possibly other?) intrinsics
+  take an extra parameter now (i1 isVolatile), totaling 5 parameters.
+  If you were creating these intrinsic calls and prototypes yourself (as opposed
+  to using Intrinsic::getDeclaration), you can use UpgradeIntrinsicFunction/UpgradeIntrinsicCall

+  Note that you cannot use Intrinsic::getDeclaration() in a backwards compatible
