I am not following what you have in mind. "implicitarg_ptr" is a pointer 
returned by an intrinsic that reads an ABI-defined register. I need to check 
that for a given call-graph, a particular range of bytes relative to that base 
pointer are never accessed. The above DFS on the uses conservatively assumes 
that such a load exists unless it can conclusively trace every use of the base 
pointer. This may include the pointer being passed to an extern function or 
being stored into a different memory location (although we don't expect ABI 
registers being capture this way). I am not seeing how to construct this around 
AAPointerInfo. As far as I can see, the public interface only talks about uses 
that are recognized as loads and stores.
