It sounds like you want to stick with the default mode for llvm optimization passes. You can either call the SCEV rewriter in your own backend, analogous to CodeGen prepare for machine targets, our you can take a look at the SCEV rewriter logic and adapt your backend make use of SCEV expressions.

I'm just about to change the default indvars mode. We need to do this to begin making progress on long standing issues in LSR and gep rewriting. In the short term, I'll try not to break the -enable-iv-rewrite mode, but I'm hoping you won't have much trouble switching over.
