Once the LLVM IR bytecode is loaded (or the LLVM assembler is parsed)
you have the same C++ objects that you previously generated when you
emitted the IR from your compiler. As for traversing those C++ objects
for examining the IR or transforming it, see

See http://www.llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMPass.html
