I could throw an error when there is an unsupported type, but would the DXILFlattenArrays pass really be the place to throw such errors?

Line 296 and below already has
```c++
    // If the root type is not an array, we don't need to do any flattening
    if (!isa<ArrayType>(RootTy))
      return false;
```
to indicate that only arrays are applicable to this transformation. 
The name of the pass "DXIL Flatten Arrays" to me also implies it only applies to arrays.
