[LLVMdev] Problem selecting the correct registers for a calling convention

I think the property you want is "isSplit" (or, from the TableGen side
CCIfSplit).

This gets applied to the first of those i16s that are produced.
Unfortunately I can't think of much you can do from TableGen to swap
the registers around (CCIfSplit is useful if the i32 would have to
start at an even-numbered register, for example). But in the C++
ISelLowering code you can use that flag to deal with the two registers
together in a sane way.
