OK - not sure what aarch64 policy is, but x86 we tend to continue support for 
old intrinsics that could still be in IR through AutoUpgrade.cpp which mostly 
converts them to generics (very similar to CGBuiltin) - technically we plan to 
remove the oldest at some point but we've been very loathe to actually do it.
