I'd prefer to make it really obvious what is going on in the .ll file. 
How about something like:

%x = load   i32 * addrspace(42)  %ptr

?

Putting the marker after the * it applies to should make the .ll file 
easier to parse, but putting it *immediately* before the '*' is also fine 
with me.  This would give:

%x = load   i32 addrspace(42)*   %ptr

I guess that looks a bit more natural.
