You should be able to use the RegMask operand to the MachineInstr to
discover the registers that are preserved or clobbered by the call
according to the calling convention.  For reference, you might want to
look at `getRegMask` and `gatherMaximalPreservedRegisters` in
http://reviews.llvm.org/D21115.

As far as discovering the slot to which it is spilled, I have no idea.
CC'ing Matthias for this.
