Tests coming.
George, i also am not clear on the proper way to integrate this into the walker and clobber checker :)

LGTM with nits; thanks!

Please kill these brackets

return AA.isMustAlias(...);?

Please add a newline after this line

Is there a reason these aren't vanilla CHECKs?

(If not, please also add the ; CHECK-NEXT: %0 = load ... after each check for MemoryDef/MemoryUse, for consistency with the other tests)
