When arbitrary sized (non-simple type, or non-power of two types)
integers are passed on the stack, these integers are not handled when
lowering formal arguments on AIX as we always assume we will encounter
simple type integers.
However, it is possible for frontends to generate arbitrary sized
immediate values in IR. Specifically in rustc, it will generate an
integer value in LLVM IR for small structures that are less than a
pointer size, which is done for optimization purposes for the Rust ABI.
For example, if a Rust structure of three characters is passed into
function on the stack,
```
struct my_struct {
field1: u8,
field2: u8,
field3: u8,
}
```
This will generate an `i24` type in LLVM IR.
Currently, it is not obvious for the backend to distinguish an integer
versus something that wasn't an integer to begin with (such as a
struct), and the latter case would not have an extend on the parameter.
Thus, this PR allows us to perform a truncation and extend on integers,
both non-simple and simple types.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
