If you want, you can actually just use an anonymous namespace:

namespace {

class variable_entry : public exec_node { ... }

} /* namespace */

This restricts the contents' visibility to file scope, more or less like 
C's "static" keyword (though it differs in rather obtuse ways.)

Of course, what you have works fine too.  It's a toss-up really.

This comment is a touch confusing...if we hit this code, I think it 
means we've found an whole-array access with NO index at all, i.e.

vec4 foo[5];
vec4 bar = foo; // should be (assign () (var_ref bar) (var_ref foo))

...whereas here, you've found an array access that may not be constant. 
  Technically, this isn't a whole array access...only one element...but 
it could be any element.  Effectively, though, that's the same thing. 
So this is the right thing to do.

I might swap the two functions and change comments like so:

ir_visitor_status
ir_array_reference_visitor::visit_enter(ir_dereference_array *ir)
{
    ir_dereference_variable *deref = ir->array->as_dereference_variable();
    if (!deref)
       return visit_continue;

    variable_entry *entry = this->get_variable_entry(deref->var);

    /* Non-constant indexing of the array is effectively the same as
     * accessing the whole array, since we can't determine exactly
     * which element is accessed.
     */
    if (entry && !ir->array_index->as_constant())
       entry->whole_array_access++;

    /* Don't descend into the variable dereference. */
    return visit_continue_with_parent;
}

ir_visitor_status
ir_array_reference_visitor::visit(ir_dereference_variable *ir)
{
    variable_entry *entry = this->get_variable_entry(ir->var);

    /* Since we never descend from an array_ref to an inner var_ref
     * (see the visit_continue_with_parent above), we know that this
     * use of the array variable doesn't have a subscript.  In other
     * words, it's a whole array access.
     */
    if (entry)
       entry->whole_array_access++;

    return visit_continue;
}

I think that's a little easier to follow...while being exactly the same 
code.  Up to you, of course.

I'm probably being dense, but how would a variable -not- have a 
declaration?  It seems like we always should visit the ir_variable 
declaration, THEN dereferences of it...

If that's really true, we shouldn't need the "declaration" field.  We 
could also have separate add_variable_entry/get_variable_entry methods, 
rather than making get() create new entries.  Might be clearer...

Except it doesn't actually split the declarations; the 
optimize_split_arrays function does that.  So it does half the actual 
work :)

Maybe:
/**
  * This class rewrites any dereferences of split arrays to use
  * the newly created ir_variables for each component.
  */

Really glad to see this go in!  I think most of my feedback is pretty 
much bike-shedding, so feel free to recolor or not.  Either way:
