The promotion from a void function with an sret argument to a function
returning multiple values is probably performed by StructRetPromotion (some
grepping around the source suggests that no other pass actually looks at sret
parameters).

However, I'm not sure what replaces that struct of two doubles by a single
i128. I think ScalarReplAggregrates is capable of doing such packing, but it
only operates on local variables, not return types AFAIK.
