Michael Kruse 6249bfeefe [Polly][CodeGen] Remove use of ScalarEvolution.
ScalarEvolution::getSCEV cannot be used during codegen. ScalarEvolution
assumes a stable IR and control flow which is under construction during
Polly's CodeGen. In particular, it uses DominatorTree for compute the
backedge taken count. However the DominatorTree is not updated during
codegen.

In this case, SCEV was used to determine the base pointer of an array
access. Replace it by our own function. Polly generates only GEP and
BitCasts for array acceses, i.e. it is sufficient to handle these to to
find the base pointer.

Polly - Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM
-----------------------------------------
http://polly.llvm.org/

Polly uses a mathematical representation, the polyhedral model, to represent and
transform loops and other control flow structures. Using an abstract
representation it is possible to reason about transformations in a more general
way and to use highly optimized linear programming libraries to figure out the
optimal loop structure. These transformations can be used to do constant
propagation through arrays, remove dead loop iterations, optimize loops for
cache locality, optimize arrays, apply advanced automatic parallelization, drive
vectorization, or they can be used to do software pipelining.
