[LLVMdev] Data Structure Analysis

DSA should be current against head, but poolalloc isn't.  I've changed
DSA a bit so it may not compile with poolalloc as is.  I haven't had
time to tackle updating poolalloc (either to head or to the dsa
changes).  If you want the version from the paper, try checking out
llvm 1.8 or 1.9 and a dsa from around then.  The dsa as used on the
linux kernel and in the OS work is in a branch (but we were not using
poolalloc in that work so I don't know it that one works).
