[PATCH 4/3] Documentation: Remove references to FASTCALL/fastcall

From: Harvey Harrison
Date: Mon Feb 11 2008 - 16:45:49 EST


An example function prototype and description of options that
modify how arguments are passed had references to fastcall.

Andrew, I don't have the knowledge to deal with the rcupdate.c

Also, the UML reference is to a config option UM_FASTCALL, not
the FASTCALL macro.
