Switch .cms to pass inputs and outputs on the real stack, not in
registers; like we do with .and, .or (81c677d) and .xor (c578c49).
At this point, nearly all functions in libem use the real stack, not
registers, for passing inputs and outputs. This simplifies the ncg
table (which needs fewer lists of specific registers) but slows calls
to libem.
For example, after ba9b021, each call to .aar4 is about 10
instructions slower. I moved 3 inputs and 1 output from registers to
the real stack. A program would take 4 instructions to move registers
to stack, 4 to move stack to registers, and perhaps 2 to adjust the
stack pointer.
Remove one addi instruction from some loops. These loops had
increased 2 pointers, they now increase 1 index. I must initialize
the index, so I add "li r6, 0" before each loop.
Change .zer to use subf instead of neg, add.
Change .xor to take the size on the real stack, as .and and .or have
done since 81c677d.
The new features are the hi16/lo16 and ha16/lo16 syntax for
relocations, and the extended mnemonics like "blr".
Use ha16/lo16 to load some double floats with 2 instructions (lis/lfd)
instead of 3 (lis/ori/lfd).
Use the extended names for branches, comparisons, and bit rotations,
so I can more easily read the code. The new names often encode the
same machine instructions as the old names, except in a few places
where I changed the instructions.
Stop using andi. when we don't need to set cr0. In inn.s, I change
andi. to extrwi to extract the same bits. In los.s and sts.s, I
change "andi. r3, r3, ~3" to "clrrwi r3, r3, 2". This avoids setting
cr0 and also stops clearing the high 16 bits of r3.
In csa.s, los.s, sts.s, I change some comparisons and right shifts
from signed to unsigned (cmplw, cmplwi, srwi), because the sizes are
unsigned. In inn.s, the right shift can be signed (sraw) or unsigned
(srw), but I use srw because we don't need the carry bit.
In fef8.s, I save an instruction by using rlwinm instead of addis/andc
to rlwinm to clear a field. The code no longer kills r7. In both
fef8.s and fif8.s, I remove the list of killed registers.
Also remove some whitespace from ends of lines.
This provides and, ior, xor, com, zer, set, cms when defined($1) and
ior, set when !defined($1). I don't provide the other operations
!defined($1) because our Modula-2 compiler hasn't used them.

Put a dummy comment in mach/powerpc/libem/build.lua so git checkout
will touch that file. Without the touch, the build system doesn't see
the new *.s files.
