Summary:
This includes a few changes and corrections to the semantics, to support
the translation. This initial attempt to reason about LLVM -> llair
showed three things that needed repair in the semantics, in addition to
various bugs. We address them as follows.
Refactor llair semantics to have only a single kind of flat value:
integers that fit into specified bit widths. Operations on size values
(e.g., offsets, indices and the like) can just take an integer and
ignore its number of bits. Pointers can just be considered integers that
fit into a certain size given by the constant pointer_size. Later on we
can consider making this a parameter to the model.
Change the generic memory model interface to use numbers rather than
words as the generic encoding of a large value. This makes it more
useful for llair where words are not used.
Pay more careful attention to signed/unsigned issues. Neither LLVM nor
llair have a concept of signed vs unsigned value. Instead individual
operations interpret bit patterns in various ways, some of which are
ambiguous in the LLVM manual. For example, since getelementpointer's
indices are explicitly said to be interpreted as signed 2's complement,
we should probably do the same for insertvalue and extractvalue. However
it is not clear how the argument to alloca is to be interpreted. For now
we assume signed.

Summary:
The translation from LLVM to llair now builds expressions up across
blocks, following the implementation. This is easy to do because of the
dominance restrictions in SSA, but might be difficult to reason
about.

Summary:
LLVM and llair have similar memory models, and we don't want to
duplicate any definitions or theorems. This adds a new memory model
theory which should be understandable in its own right. A heap is a
mapping from addresses to bytes, alongside a set of valid addresses, and
intervals that have been allocated already. Primitives are defined for
allocating and de-allocating as well as reading and writing chuncks of
bytes.
There is also a generic type of structured values, and functions for
converting them to/from byte arrays.

Summary:
Each variable now contains its type, alongside its name. This is more
uniform than in LLVM, where the name is usually paired with a type, but
not always, for example, the register type of the result of an
extractvalue is left implicit.

Summary:
HOL now lets us omit quotations on Datatypes and make them look more
like the other new-style HOL definitions.

Summary:
This sketches out how translation can be approached. It is partially
based on the Sledge code.
For basic blocks, isn't based on the Sledge code, but just my own
thoughts as a starting point. Essentially, we are trying to build up
larger expressions, and so not assigning to temporary registers that
don't live past the end of the block. This does remove sharing, so a
fancier approach could check for multiple uses of end-of-block dead
registers, or look at the sizes of expressions. The approach should be
flexible enough to accommodate such changes.
Fix icmp syntax
Using finite maps is elegant in the semantics, but awkward for writing
the translation function. Refactor the mappings from labels to functions
and from labels to blocks to use association lists instead.
To remove phi nodes, the translation takes every edge in the control
flow graph and makes a new basic block that contains a single parallel
move instruction that corresponds to the action of the phi node of the
target block.
