failing case

scalarrepl introduces a bitcast between different address spaces.
When an alloca is only modified by a memcpy from a constant global variable,
the uses of the alloca are modified to use the constant global variable
directly. The problem appears when the constant global variable is defined in a
different address space than the alloca.

For the attached code, for example, the following bitcast is introduced:

; bitcast from addrspace(3) to default addrspace
%0 = bitcast [9 x i8]* bitcast ([9 x i8] addrspace(3)* @entry.buf to [9 x i8]*)
to i8*

A correct way to handle this case would be to change the type of the uses of
the alloca to match the address space of the constant global.
