Subject: Since 'load null' is undefined, we can make it do whatever we want.  Returning
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c76d80342e229a86bf3f780c797e29d197363bc4;p=oota-llvm.git

Since 'load null' is undefined, we can make it do whatever we want.  Returning
a zero value is the most likely way to cause further simplification, so we do it.
