        <pre>Many of our iplist classes (MachineBasicBlock, MemoryAccess) do something like
this:

    template <class T> ListNode { T *prev, *next; };
    template <class T> struct List {
      ListNode<T> Sentinel;
      T *Head = static_cast<T *>(&Sentinel);
      void ensureHead() {}
    };

Because of iterators have pointers to `T` instead of `ListNodeBase`, this
exposes UB.
