I think some of your patch already went into sparse. If there are some missing. Feel free to submit it again.
The bulk of it's the byte-size patch, which has already made it in, and the rest is Clue-specific tweaks (like keeping type information in pseudos, and so on).

If every back end needs to do those "simplifications", that means sparse should be fixed to do it right.
Actually that stuff's in Clue rather than in the patch --- things like ultra-simple register allocation, flattening Sparse's parse tree to Clue's backend model, etc. None of this really makes sense for anything involving a real compiler (for example, Clue assumes you have an infinite number of registers available).
In fact, now I think of it, Clue also has a rather intrinsic assumption that sizeof(int) == sizeof(char) == 1, which means it wouldn't work with llvm out of the box. It may be productive to rip off some of the code, though.
