Hi,
while creating shared stack slots we create a fake void * pointer and
merge the corresponidng points-to sets.  Later ao_ref_from_mem constructs
mem_ref to feed alias oracle from. Since pointer is void we then
dereference it and keep with void_type mem_ref that does not make much sense.
It also makes oracle to punt later on 

  /* If either reference is view-converted, give up now.  */
  if (same_type_for_tbaa (TREE_TYPE (base1), TREE_TYPE (ptrtype1)) != 1
      || same_type_for_tbaa (TREE_TYPE (dbase2), TREE_TYPE (base2)) != 1)
    return true;

The patch improves access path disambiguation from:

  refs_may_alias_p: 3027850 disambiguations, 3340416 queries
  ref_maybe_used_by_call_p: 6451 disambiguations, 3053430 queries
  call_may_clobber_ref_p: 817 disambiguations, 817 queries
  aliasing_component_ref_p: 151 disambiguations, 12565 queries
  TBAA oracle: 1468434 disambiguations 3010778 queries
               550723 are in alias set 0
               614261 queries asked about the same object
               0 queries asked about the same alias set
               0 access volatile
               260983 are dependent in the DAG
               116377 are aritificially in conflict with void *

to:

Alias oracle query stats:
  refs_may_alias_p: 3029219 disambiguations, 3341410 queries
  ref_maybe_used_by_call_p: 6451 disambiguations, 3054799 queries
  call_may_clobber_ref_p: 817 disambiguations, 817 queries
  aliasing_component_ref_p: 1286 disambiguations, 18458 queries
  TBAA oracle: 1468536 disambiguations 3013214 queries
               550743 are in alias set 0
               616203 queries asked about the same object
               0 queries asked about the same alias set
               0 access volatile
               261355 are dependent in the DAG
               116377 are aritificially in conflict with void *

So about 8times of aliasing_component_refs hitrate.

Bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux, OK?
