If you need specific locations for everything you're allocating on the
stack, you should probably just use a continuation-passing style like
the one mentioned in
http://nondot.org/sabre/LLVMNotes/ExplicitlyManagedStackFrames.txt ;
LLVM won't preserve the values of variables allocated with alloca
whose address isn't taken.
