I do not see how to get rid of constant in gimple_call_arg call here.
What semantics does proposed gimple_call_bndarg have? It has to return
the first bounds arg but it's not clear from its name and function
seems to be very specialized.

Yep, it would be useless.

Call is required because builtins for Pointer Bounds Checker are
provided by target depending on available features. That is why
gimple_call_builtin_p is not used. I may add new interface function
into tree-chkp.h as you propose (e.g. chkp_gimple_call_builtin_p). But
I do not see how it may speed-up the code. New function would still
need to switch by function code and compare with proper decl which is
basically what we have with target hook.

It is possible to make faster if use the fact that all chkp builtins
codes (normal, not target ones) are consequent. Then we may just check
the range and use code as an index in array of chkp fndecls to compare
decls. Would it be OK to rely on builtin codes numbering?
