Log message:
	[ia64] small integral parameters and return values
	
	This patch fixes a small problem on ia64-hpux when calling functions
	whose parameter are small integral values (less than 8 bytes).  In
	that case, the parameter value was stored on the wrong side of the
	register.  Same problem for return values.
	
	With this patch, the results for gdb.base/callfuncs.exp improve from
	
	# of expected passes            41
	# of unexpected failures        78
	
	To:
	
	# of expected passes            95
	# of unexpected failures        24
	
	gdb/ChangeLog:
	
	* ia64-tdep.c (ia64_struct_type_p): New function.
	(ia64_extract_return_value): Handle integral values that are
	less than 8 bytes long.
	(ia64_push_dummy_call): Likewise.
