[LLVMdev] Name of Function's original module during link-time optimization

OK, I did this and it works (the strange seg fault also disappears after 
all declared debug variables are gone)! In a first phase, all intrinsic 
instructions are discarded after extracting their data into annotations 
attached to the relevant Function. Then, a second phase wipes out the 
intrinsic instruction Functions themselves as well as all debug 
variables in the declaration section. This 2-phase approach is necessary 
as I implemented the pass as an InstVisitor.

A limitation here is that only Functions' debug data can be kept, as 
other Values (i.e. Instructions) are not Annotable. Is this an explicit 
design decision?

Kind regards,

PS: Could this pass be interesting to others? If so, I could send the 
code to the list or to Bugzilla.
