By reordering the objects on the stack frame after looking at the users, a
better utilization of displacement operands will result. This means less
needed Load Address instructions for the accessing of these objects.
This is important for very large functions where otherwise small changes
could cause a lot more/less accesses go out of range.
Note: this is not yet enabled for SystemZXPLINKFrameLowering, but should be.

This will currently accept the old number of bytes syntax, and convert
it to a scalar. This should be removed in the near future (I think I
converted all of the tests already, but likely missed a few).
Not sure what the exact syntax and policy should be. We can continue
printing the number of bytes for non-generic instructions to avoid
test churn and only allow non-scalar types for generic instructions.
This will currently print the LLT in parentheses, but accept parsing
the existing integers and implicitly converting to scalar. The
parentheses are a bit ugly, but the parser logic seems unable to deal
without either parentheses or some keyword to indicate the start of a
type.
