It might be interesting to add "pointee" attributes on pointers, that is attributes that are attached to the pointee, however that requires a larger discussion.

I had thought about using llvm.assume but was wondering if there is a
better way.  Tagging the loads with metadata really seems about the same
amount of effort.  Both require major surgery to code generation.

Thanks for your help Johannes!
