If alias analysis already knows that all memory in the constant address space 
is immutable,  I agree that should be sufficient, at least on targets where the 
constant address space is actually a different address space in LLVM IR.  If it 
only knows that when it can resolve an access down to a specific `constant` 
global variable, this patch is still providing value because it applies even 
for accesses through a pointer.
