inttoptr or ptrtoint cast provided there is datalayout available.
Eventually, the datalayout can just be required but in practice it will
always be there today.
To go with the ability to expose available values requiring a ptrtoint
or inttoptr cast, helpers are added to perform one of these three casts.
These smarts are necessary to finish canonicalizing loads and stores to
the operational type requirements without regressing fundamental
combines.
I've added some test cases. These should actually improve as the load
combining and store combining improves, but they may fundamentally be
highlighting some missing combines for select in addition to exercising
the specific added logic to load analysis.

The original code had an implicit assumption that if the test for
allocas or globals was reached, the two pointers were not equal. With my
changes to make the pointer analysis more powerful here, I also had to
guard against circumstances where the results weren't useful. That in
turn violated the assumption and gave rise to a circumstance in which we
could have a store with both the queried pointer and stored pointer
rooted at *the same* alloca. Clearly, we cannot ignore such a store.
There are other things we might do in this code to better handle the
case of both pointers ending up at the same alloca or global, but it
seems best to at least make the test explicit in what it intends to
check.
I've added tests for both the alloca and global case here.

logic to look through pointer casts, making them trivially stronger in
the face of loads and stores with intervening pointer casts.
I've included a few test cases that demonstrate the kind of folding
instcombine can do without pointer casts and then variations which
obfuscate the logic through bitcasts. Without this patch, the variations
all fail to optimize fully.
This is more important now than it has been in the past as I've started
moving the load canonicialization to more closely follow the value type
requirements rather than the pointer type requirements and thus this
needs to be prepared for more pointer casts. When I made the same change
to stores several test cases regressed without logic along these lines
so I wanted to systematically improve matters first.

by my refactoring of this code.
The method isSafeToLoadUnconditionally assumes that the load will
proceed with the preferred type alignment. Given that, it has to ensure
that the alloca or global is at least that aligned. It has always done
this historically when a datalayout is present, but has never checked it
when the datalayout is absent. When I refactored the code in r220156,
I exposed this path when datalayout was present and that turned the
latent bug into a patent bug.
This fixes the issue by just removing the special case which allows
folding things without datalayout. This isn't worth the complexity of
trying to tease apart when it is or isn't safe without actually knowing
the preferred alignment.

make much more sense and in theory be more correct.
If you trace the code alllll the way back to when it was first
introduced, the comments make it slightly more clear what was going on
here. At that time, the only way Base != V was if DL (then TD) was
non-null. As a consequence, if DL *was* null, that meant we were loading
directly from the alloca or global found above the test. After
refactoring, this has become at least terribly subtle and potentially
incorrect. There are many forms of pointer manipulation that can be
traversed without DataLayout, and some of them would in fact change the
size of object being loaded vs. allocated.
Rather than this subtlety, I've hoisted the actual 'return true' bits
into the code which actually found an alloca or global and based them on
the loaded pointer being that alloca or global. This is both more clear
and safer. I've also added comments about exactly why this set of
predicates is used.
I've also corrected a misleading comment about globals -- if overridden
they may not just have a different size, they may be null and completely
unsafe to load from!
Hopefully this confuses the next reader a bit less. I don't have any
test cases or anything, the patch is motivated strictly to improve the
readability of the code.

In order to enable the preservation of noalias function parameter information
after inlining, and the representation of block-level __restrict__ pointer
information (etc.), additional kinds of aliasing metadata will be introduced.
This metadata needs to be carried around in AliasAnalysis::Location objects
(and MMOs at the SDAG level), and so we need to generalize the current scheme
(which is hard-coded to just one TBAA MDNode*).
This commit introduces only the necessary refactoring to allow for the
introduction of other aliasing metadata types, but does not actually introduce
any (that will come in a follow-up commit). What it does introduce is a new
AAMDNodes structure to hold all of the aliasing metadata nodes associated with
a particular memory-accessing instruction, and uses that structure instead of
the raw MDNode* in AliasAnalysis::Location, etc.
No functionality change intended.

into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.
There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.
The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.
I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).
I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.
