Look at the doxygen information for the ConstantInt class 
(http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1ConstantInt.html).  There's a 
static get() method to create a ConstantInt given an LLVM integer type 
and an integer value.

Note that the type is needed to indicate what type of integer you want.  
For example, you could create an 8-bit integer (i8 5) or a 32-bit 
integer (i32 5).
