[PATCH] D41700: [RISCV] Refactory the existing CC_RISCV32 function to conform to the CCAssignFn type

Thanks for the patch Leslie. My main concern with this approach is it will fail to work when VarArg support is added (https://reviews.llvm.org/D40805). Conforming to the vararg ABI requires 1) knowing which arguments are fixed vs non-fixed (I currently just have an extra parameter for this in CC_RISCV, Mips handles this with MipsCCState), 2) knowing the original type of an argument. Both issues could be addressed by introducing a RISCVCCState (where I'd probably keep a Datalayout and a SubtargetInfo reference), but looking at GlobalISel that wouldn't actually help without further changes - CallLowering::handleAssignments creates a CCState directly, meaning you'd need to make further changes to support a custom CCState (as used in Hexagon, SystemZ, Mips and other backends).

I think some more GlobalISel design work needs to be done here really. It looks like splitting a smaller `assignArgs` function out of `handleAssignments` and making it virtual would help, but still wouldn't provide complete drop-in compatibility with custom CCState subclasses.
