Dan's work on MemoryOperands is a great step towards this.  It doesn't 
associate a local variable with a frameindex per say, but each instruction 
that accesses the FI will have an associated memoperand that tells you 
(roughly) the llvm alloca that it corresponds to.  From that you could 
jump up to debug info, etc.
