The exact mechanism that Richard is referring to here is IRBuilder,
which does constant folding by default. You can try to plug in a noop
constant folder (IRBuilder's second template arg) and see if that
avoids the constant folding that you want to avoid (see the typedef of
CGBuilderTy in lib/CodeGen/CGBuilder.h).
