I was envisioning specifying the builtins in a .def file like we do with other 
builtins, but allowing that .def file to specify optional calling convention 
information on a per-function basis (like we already support other attributes). 
So there would still be an LLVM attribute to be used, but there would not be a 
user-facing Clang attribute that users could misapply to their own code. So the 
attribute definition here would continue to exist, but the attribute would have 
no spelling associated with it. We do this with some other attributes, like 
`AlignMac68kAttr` or `MaxFieldAlignmentAttr`.
