[PATCH] D32777: Remap metadata attached to global variables.

I'm not sure I understand your question:

Global variables can either be described as !dbg attachments to globals:

  @a = global i32, !dbg !0
  !0 = !DIGlobalVariableExpression(var: DIGlobalVariable(name: "a"...))

or via a DICompileUnit:

  !0 = DICompileUnit(..., globals: !{!1})
  !1 = !DIGlobalVariableExpression(var: DIGlobalVariable(name: "my_const", expr: DIExpression(DW_OP_constu, 23)))

LLVM globals cannot be referenced from metadata any more if that is what you meant.
