Allow transforming this:

        %tmp = cast <4 x uint>* %testData to <4 x int>*         ; <<4 x int>*> [#uses=1]
        %tmp = load <4 x int>* %tmp             ; <<4 x int>> [#uses=1]

to this:

        %tmp = load <4 x uint>* %testData               ; <<4 x uint>> [#uses=1]
        %tmp = cast <4 x uint> %tmp to <4 x int>                ; <<4 x int>> [#uses=1]
