Aha!  it is EH_RETURN :) and it appears stack adjustment is something 
different.

for x86, gcc has:
#define EH_RETURN_DATA_REGNO(N)	((N) <= DX_REG ? (N) : INVALID_REGNUM)

thus N can either be AX_REG or DX_REG. (which is eax/rax and edx/rdx 
depending on compilation mode)

for m68k gcc has:
#define EH_RETURN_DATA_REGNO(N) \
   ((N) < 2 ? (N) : INVALID_REGNUM)

so that's registers d0 and d1

I'm guessing EHPersonality:CoreCLR is a different ABI that you're not 
concerned with.  Thus I think you want:

getExceptionPointerRegister to return d0 and 
getExceptionSelectorRegister to return d1.

give that a go, and see if you can throw/catch exceptions between code 
compiled by your llvm port and a gcc

hope that helps.
