While I understand that your current goal is translating LLVM -> SUIF,
it seems that you're running into problems with the SUIF IR itself.

Could you explain the overall goals of your project?  It may be possible
to do it all within LLVM, possibly with some extensions.  As I see it,
you're looking either at writing SUIF additions or LLVM additions, and
given the wealth of LLVM documentation and the fact that it's very
actively maintained, that may be the better route.  However, it all
depends on what you want, what LLVM currently provides, and what it can
be extended to do within reasonable amount of time...

This might make things somewhat difficult...
