That full comment is:
```
/// CALLSEQ_START/CALLSEQ_END - These operators mark the beginning and end
/// of a call sequence, and carry arbitrary information that target might
/// want to know. The first operand is a chain, the rest are specified by
/// the target and not touched by the DAG optimizers.
/// Targets that may use stack to pass call arguments define additional
/// operands:
/// - size of the call frame part that must be set up within the
/// CALLSEQ_START..CALLSEQ_END pair,
/// - part of the call frame prepared prior to CALLSEQ_START.
/// Both these parameters must be constants, their sum is the total call
/// frame size.
/// CALLSEQ_START..CALLSEQ_END pairs may not be nested.
```
CALLSEQ_START and CALLSEQ_END are identical in this regard, so having the mismatch in naming between getCALLSEQ_START and getCALLSEQ_END is odd to me. Note that on architectures that don't use the stack for arguments (like NVPTX) these aren't even sizes; NVPTX just uses an incrementing counter that exists solely to end up in assembly comments AFAICT.
