Correct.

In LangRef.html, the stdcall and fastcall conventions you know are  
lumped under "cc <n>" for target-specific conventions, although I  
think there is special support in the LLVM assembly language for these  
two.

In CallingConv.h, they're available with the symbolic constants  
CallingConv::X86_StdCall (64) and CallingConv::X86_FastCall (65).

Note that fastcc / CallingConv::Fast is not fastcall. (It's actually  
an alias for ccc...)
