[Morello] Prototype passing all memory arguments through C9

Open Silviu Baranga requested to merge pcs into morello/dev

This prototypes https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/issues/158

This currently doesn't support a large number of arguments, where padding still needs to be added.

Some notable changes:

  • The va_list is made read-only in the callee to enable writes to the memory pointed by C9.
  • C9 is set to NULL in the caller if the callee is variadic and we don't have any arguments passed through memory.

This behavior can be enabled in clang by passing -Xclang -morello-bounded-memargs.
