I removed a patch that permitted nested calls in the legalizer.  This is necessary to support memcpy() on a byval parameter to another function.  However, AFAIK, no FE was generating byval parameters for ARM.

Actually, I'm surprised this ever worked for ARM.  ARM byval doesn't really exist outside of a patch that I've never committed.

I'm guessing this passed on ARM because the ARM BE currently ignores byval.  IOW, the test should avoid ARM until byval support appears.

Perhaps the test could exclude ARM (and other targets that don't support byval)?
