Well, anyway stubs are definitely wrong from windows64 and this should
be fixed, otherwise funny stuff can happen from time to time.

The CC is described in the X86CallingConv.td file and also some other
bits are expanded in the X86ISelLowering.cpp

The changes needed for windows64 CC are pretty straightforward
modification of the current x86-64 CC (I even can try to find my
preliminary patch made this summer). 

However, there is one pretty ugly thing currently totally unimplemented:
register shadowing: consider, e.g. void foo(int, double). First argument
is passed into RCX, and second in both XMM1 and RDX. Also not, that it
gos to XMM1, because it's second argument and XMM0 is shadowed by
already-used RCX.

I think I can try to heal my early patch and then stuff should be
extended to handle these specific construction.
