In sparse, pointer arithmetic and accessing the field of a structure or an array is simply done via OP_ADD, the offset being calculated at evaluation time. On the other hand, LLVM allows addition only on two integers and pointer arithmetic/member access must be done either via 'getelementptr' or the pointer must be casted to and fro an integer. sparse-llvm didn't took this in account which resulted in type error in 'add' instructions. Fix this by catching addition involving pointer and the already existing helper calc_gep() for these.
