Thanks for tackling this Andrew.

Please prepare a patch for LangRef.html that explains what this thing  
does :).  What are all those bools?  Once that is available I'll  
review the rest of the llvm patch.

In the call below, you don't have to pass in 4 i1's.  Just passing in  
the intrinsic ID should be fine.  The type list is for intrinsics that  
take 'any' as an argument.

Finally, don't forget the 80 column rule.
