Detailed Description

   Auxiliary functions to determine the set of memory accesses which
   can't trap because they are preceded by accesses to the same memory
   portion.  We do that for MEM_REFs, so we only need to track
   the SSA_NAME of the pointer indirectly referenced.  The algorithm
   simply is a walk over all instructions in dominator order.  When
   we see an MEM_REF we determine if we've already seen a same
   ref anywhere up to the root of the dominator tree.  If we do the
   current access can't trap.  If we don't see any dominating access
   the current access might trap, but might also make later accesses
   non-trapping, so we remember it.  We need to be careful with loads
   or stores, for instance a load might not trap, while a store would,
   so if we see a dominating read access this doesn't mean that a later
   write access would not trap.  Hence we also need to differentiate the
   type of access(es) seen.

   ??? We currently are very conservative and assume that a load might
   trap even if a store doesn't (write-only memory).  This probably is
   overly conservative.  
   A hash-table of SSA_NAMEs, and in which basic block an MEM_REF
   through it was seen, which would constitute a no-trap region for
   same accesses.
