[LLVMdev] problems defining the stack layout

The problem was that I was generating hard coded loads and stores for
the link register. I was trying to shift the local variables, but this
isn't the correct solution. I have now implemented
getCalleeSaveSpillSlots, so that the link register is treated like any
other callee save register.
