the cmm pages on the wiki seem out of date

[Carter Schonwald]

Hey all, I've been staring at the cmm primop code in ghc over the past week
to understand a number of things, and I was just today looking at the
current cmm documentation on the ghc wiki.

specifically i've been looking at
https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/compiler/cmm/Cmm.hs
https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/compiler/cmm/CmmParse.y
and
https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/rts/PrimOps.cmm

versus the wiki docs
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/CmmType

it looks like CMM supports a nicer function definition convention than the
wiki implies.
(and presumably that also would hold  for the ffi for calling user written
cmm code too?)


If the wiki is out of date, i'm happy to make a first pass at trying to add
this info somewhere,

thanks
-Carter
