The LLVM intrinsics in the LLVM IR must conform to whatever the IR's 
requirements are. That means that even in the case of your backend, the 
arguments to the intrinsic must be doubles, not their addresses.  You 
can convert the intrinsics to function calls, together with the call 
frame set up, etc. during instruction selection.

Check setLibcallName, setLibcallCallingConv (and related functions) in 
include/llvm/Target/TargetLowering.h.  The Libcall enum is defined in 
include/llvm/CodeGen/RuntimeLibcalls.h
