I still think that handling NULL from evolution_part_in_loop_num is the
correct thing to do.  Even if you need to move this check to the analysis
phase.

The interesting thing is that the access function during
vect_analyze_scalar_cycles_1 is

{2, +, 1}_1

which is because after the vectorized part of the loop the prologue
remains which has a non-constant evolution start.

So with the reasoning that you analyzed the access function of the
original loop properly you can probably strip the conversion that
confuses you at just vect_update_ivs_after_vectorizer.  (Or store
the relevant information during analysis where the evolution is
still simple enough)

This would fix the ICE, but I wonder if it may cause wrong code because
of mismatched types somehow.
