The comment above `__cxa_end_cleanup` says:

We're currently saving/restoring r1-r3 (volatiles), but with the Armv6-M fix, we're clobbering r4 (a local/callee-save register) in order to restore lr. That seems like wrong behavior?

i.e. `__cxa_end_cleanup` should ensure r4 has the original value when it calls `_Unwind_Resume`. Before this LLVM patch, it wasn't necessary to preserve r4, because `__cxa_end_cleanup_impl` would do so automatically.
