+//
+// This is an optimization pass for variadic functions. If called from codegen,
+// it can serve as the implementation of variadic functions for a given target.
+//
+// The strategy is to turn the ... part of a variadic function into a va_list
+// and fix up the call sites. The majority of the pass is target independent.
+// The exceptions are the va_list type itself and the rules for where to store
+// variables in memory such that va_arg can iterate over them given a va_list.
+//
+// The majority of the plumbing is splitting the variadic function into a
+// single basic block that packs the variadic arguments into a va_list and
+// a second function that does the work of the original. That packing is
+// exactly what is done by va_start. Further, the transform from ... to va_list
+// replaced va_start with an operation to copy a va_list from the new argument,
+// which is exactly a va_copy. This is useful for reducing target-dependence.
+//
+// A va_list instance is a forward iterator, where the primary operation va_arg
+// is dereference-then-increment. This interface forces significant convergent
+// evolution between target specific implementations. The variation in runtime
+// data layout is limited to that representable by the iterator, parameterised
+// by the type passed to the va_arg instruction.
+//
+// Therefore the majority of the target specific subtlety is packing arguments
+// into a stack allocated buffer such that a va_list can be initialised with it
+// and the va_arg expansion for the target will find the arguments at runtime.
+//
+// The aggregate effect is to unblock other transforms, most critically the
+// general purpose inliner. Known calls to variadic functions become zero cost.
+//
+// Consistency with clang is primarily tested by emitting va_arg using clang
+// then expanding the variadic functions using this pass, followed by trying
+// to constant fold the functions to no-ops.
+//
+// Target specific behaviour is tested in IR - mainly checking that values are
+// put into positions in call frames that make sense for that particular target.
+//
+// There is one "clever" invariant in use. va_start intrinsics that are not
+// within a varidic functions are an error in the IR verifier. When this
+// transform moves blocks from a variadic function into a fixed arity one, it
+// moves va_start intrinsics along with everything else. That means that the
+// va_start intrinsics that need to be rewritten to use the trailing argument
+// are exactly those that are in non-variadic functions so no further state
+// is needed to distinguish those that need to be rewritten.

The addrspace qualifier on these intrinsics might be worth rolling back on the basis that their lowering is independent of addrspace on amdgpu and other targets don't use the addrspace forms. Even on amdgpu clang still emits the intrinsics using addrspace(0). I'll ping Alex about that sometime after this patch goes through.
