The problem here is that you haven't told us what you *do* have -- or for
that matter whether you need to support all features of LLVM IR (or C), or
leave some out, and if so then what?

For example, does your source language and hardware allow any notion of
"address", pointers, pointer arithmetic (AREF), arrays?

What about loops? Functions? Assignment?
