Great!  Despite the number of comments below, this is really good work  
and a nice cleanup.  When is MallocInst going to get removed?

This isn't needed, malloc calls are not readonly.  I removed it.

This is not needed, the next time through the loop the call will get  
considered.  I removed it.

This *shouldn't* be needed.  The result of the malloc prototype should  
already be marked NoAlias.  Please verify that this is happening  
(likewise for calloc, valloc, memalign, etc).  If not, llvm-gcc/clang  
and simplifylibcalls should be updated to make this happen.  One bonus  
of this that more stuff will benefit.

I see that you already modified SimplifyLibCalls.cpp to handle malloc,  
so this can probably be removed.

This all seems reasonable.  Please delete all the corresponding code  
that handles MallocInst though when it goes away :)

This check isn't necessary, it was an optimize for a quick fail, but  
isMalloc is more intensive than the previous isa call, so I just  
removed it.

malloc calls returns true for mayReadFromMemory/mayHaveSideEffects, so  
this check is not needed, removed.

Instead of special casing malloc here, please handle all "noalias"  
functions the same.

The bitcast case is not needed here: instcombine turns icmp(bitcast 
(x), null) -> icmp(x, null) already.  Removed.

This is fine, but is a new optimization, not preserving an old one.

Are you planning top eliminate FreeInst someday?

Call is handled right below, I removed this.

Calls to unknown functions are already marked overdefined, I removed  
this.

This wasn't needed because of the line above it in the diff, I removed  
it.

Calls were already handled above, so I removed this.
