Hi Oliver,

Noticed this after committing:  ACLE says we should define
__ARM_FP16_ARGS if -fallow-half-args-and-returns is enabled, but I
don't think we do (I'll submit a patch).

However,  should we disable -fallow-half-arguments-and-returns by
default?  Using "half" rather than "i16" works a bit better after the
previous round of commits, and after this one, but is still
problematic.  As Tim remarked the first time around, optimizations can
create code using "half", and we're still far from supporting that.
For instance, the fp16-ops testcase currently breaks the AArch64
backend with -O3.

I ask about the macro because given that we never defined it yet,
there are no "legal" users of the -fallow-half-arguments-and-returns
feature out there, which makes it fine to change this.

I'm working on better f16 legalization in LLVM, but in the meantime
the current situation doesn't bring us anything, I think.

Thoughts welcome!

-Ahmed
