Pete,

I'm not really following why your example is problematic, even for an 
non-zero address space.  We're not changing anything about the 
interpretation of the null pointer with this change.  We're simply 
propagating that the pointer *isn't* null, whatever meaning that might 
have for the given address space.  What I am missing in your 
explanation?  Where does this go wrong?

Are you possibly trying to say that we false concluded it was nonnull at 
the call site?  i.e. Did you find a bug in isKnownNonNull for non-zero 
address space pointers?
