The problem was that, for the same address, you had the alias set of the type
on one MEM and the alias set of the reference on the other MEM. If the alias
set of the reference doesn't conflict with that of the type (this can happen
in Ada because of DECL_NONADDRESSABLE_P), the RAW dependency may be missed.
If we don't put the alias set of the reference on one of the MEM, then I don't
think that we need to put it on the other MEM. That's what's done for the
first, non-bitfield temporary now.

Fine with me, but the now dangling code in the bitfield case is a bit annoying.
