----------------
The reasoning here seems strange.  For example, suppose I write `void f(int a) { ((char*)0x80000000)[a] = a; }`.  That has a base register, but sign-extension is wrong.

I guess you're trying to allow negative pointer offsets here, but I think SelectionDAG is throwing away the distinction you need here.  (At the IR level, it's easy to distinguish between the base of a GEP and the offset.)
