Heh. No, getValueID() returns '8' as the "ConstantIntVal" enum, not the 
actual argument number.

It's a ConstantInt, so cast it and retrieve the APInt then pull out the 
number. Here:

   unsigned val;
   if (ConstantInt *CI = dyn_cast<ConstantInt>(v)) {
     val = CI->getValue()->getSExtValue();
   }
