Add a preview of two new conversion operators: ptrtoint and inttoptr. Update
the defintion of bitconvert correspondingly.

+<h5>Syntax:</h5>
+<pre>
+ <result> = ptrtoint <ty> <value> to <ty2> <i>; yields ty2</i>
+</pre>
+
+<h5>Overview:</h5>
+<p>The '<tt>ptrtoint</tt>' instruction converts the pointer <tt>value</tt> to
+the integer type <tt>ty2</tt>.</p>
+
+<h5>Arguments:</h5>
+<p>The '<tt>ptrtoint</tt>' instruction takes a <tt>value</tt> to cast, which
+must be a <a href="t_pointer">pointer</a> value, and a type to cast it to
+<tt>ty2</tt>, which must be an <a href="#t_integer">integer</a> type.
+
+<h5>Semantics:</h5>
+<p>The '<tt>ptrtoint</tt>' instruction converts <tt>value</tt> to integer type
+<tt>ty2</tt> by interpreting the pointer value as an integer and either
+truncating or zero extending that value to the size of the integer type. If
+<tt>value</tt> is smaller than <tt>ty2</tt> then a zero extension is done. If
+<tt>value</tt> is larger than <tt>ty2</tt> then a truncation is done. If they
+are the same size, then nothing is done (<i>no-op cast</i>).</p>
+
+<h5>Example:</h5>
+<pre>
+ %X = ptrtoint int* %X to sbyte <i>; yields truncation on 32-bit</i>
+ %Y = ptrtoint int* %x to ulong <i>; yields zero extend on 32-bit</i>

+
+<h5>Overview:</h5>
+<p>The '<tt>inttoptr</tt>' instruction converts an integer <tt>value</tt> to
+a pointer type, <tt>ty2</tt>.</p>
+
+<h5>Arguments:</h5>
+<p>The '<tt>inttoptr</tt>' instruction takes an <a href="i_integer">integer</a>
+value to cast, and a type to cast it to, which must be a
+<a href="#t_pointer">pointer</a> type. </tt>
+
+<h5>Semantics:</h5>
+<p>The '<tt>inttoptr</tt>' instruction converts <tt>value</tt> to type
+<tt>ty2</tt> by applying either a zero extension or a truncation depending on
+the size of the integer <tt>value</tt>. If <tt>value</tt> is larger than the
+size of a pointer then a truncation is done. If <tt>value</tt> is smaller than
+the size of a pointer then a zero extension is done. If they are the same size,
+nothing is done (<i>no-op cast</i>).</p>
+
+<h5>Example:</h5>
+<pre>
+ %X = inttoptr int 255 to int* <i>; yields zero extend on 64-bit</i>
+ %X = inttoptr int 255 to int* <i>; yields no-op on 32-bit </i>

<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>bitconvert</tt>' instruction converts <tt>value</tt> to type
-<tt>ty2</tt> as if the value had been stored to memory and read back as type
-<tt>ty2</tt>. That is, no bits are changed during the conversion. The
-<tt>bitconvert</tt> instruction is the only conversion instruction that permits
-<i>no-op casts</i> to be constructed.</p>
+<tt>ty2</tt>. It is always a <i>no-op cast</i> because no bits change with
+this conversion. The conversion is done as if the <tt>value</tt> had been
+stored to memory and read back as type <tt>ty2</tt>. Pointer types may only be
+converted to other pointer types with this instruction. To convert pointers to
+other types, use the <a href="#i_inttoptr">inttoptr</a> or
+<a href="#i_ptrtoint">ptrtoint</a> instructions first.</p>
