failing testcase

The attached test case (foo.ll) should optimize down to a constant return. I
believe the presence of the bitcast is inhibiting further optimization though. 

A relatively simple fix (I believe) would be to reduce the stores through a
bitcasted pointer to separate stores into the proper type when obvious. 

Alternatively, this code arises from a lowered memset, which could be changed
to lower in a type specific way. The original .ll is also attached.
