// This file provide the function DemoteRegToStack().  This function takes a
// virtual register computed by an Instruction and replaces it with a slot in
// the stack frame, allocated via alloca. It returns the pointer to the
// AllocaInst inserted.  After this function is called on an instruction, we are
// guaranteed that the only user of the instruction is a store that is
// immediately after it.
