I will commit this change in a separate commit as it is not related to no_caller_saved_register attribute.
But it is related to X86 interrupt handler calling convention.

This test was written incorrect and the below lines were ignored by FileCheck.

The right way to do this, IMO, is to add the calling convention in LLVM like all other ones and have clang/the front-end selects the right calling convention when it sees the attribute.
In other words, I don’t think we want to push attribute checking in here.

Please, correct me if I am mistaken, but calling convention determine not only what the callee and the caller function saved registers are, but also how we move parameters to the called function, right?
The idea behind no_caller_saved_registers attribute, is that it can be combined with any other calling convention, and it only override the callee/caller saved register list, but not the way parameters are passed to the called function.

So, using a calling convention for this attribute will not be right.

H.J., can you confirm this?

That is correct. no_caller_saved_registers attribute
can be used with any calling conventions.
