Log:
Transform a load from an undef/zero global into an undef/global even if we
have complex pointer manipulation going on.  This allows us to compile
stuff like this:

__m128i foo(__m128i x){
                static const unsigned int c_0[4] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };
                __m128i v_Zero = _mm_loadu_si128((__m128i*)c_0);
                x  = _mm_unpacklo_epi8(x,  v_Zero);
                return x;
}

into:

_foo:
        xorps   %xmm1, %xmm1
        punpcklbw       %xmm1, %xmm0
        ret
