You can get line number info for a basic block using findBBStopPoint()
from DebugInfo.h. So one way to get what you want is to iterate over
all the basic blocks and find the basic block that you want. Note, to
get this info, you need to generate llvm IR with debugging information
(e.g. use -g on llvm-gcc command line).
