This should be pretty hard. MSIL is definitely much more high level
than LLVM, that's why significant portion of information will be lost
during MSIL => LLVM (=lowered to vmkit-specific stuff), so I doubt
that sane back reconstruction will ever be possible (consider e.g.
callvirt instruction as an example).
