I found this comment confusing because the use of "otherwise" seems to
imply that what we're doing here will cause the list visitor to visit the
new node; in fact what is happening is that we're compensating for the fact
that it won't.  How about instead saying something like "We need to do this
here because the list visitor uses foreach_list_safe(), so it will skip any
nodes we insert."

It looks like the only reason you need to manually walk through the
functions and signatures is so that you can make sure that
ir_from_ssa_visitor::base_instrs always points to the correct function's
instruction list.  Normally the way we achieve that sort of thing is to do:

ir_visitor_status
ir_from_ssa_visitor::visit_enter(ir_function_signature *ir)
{
   this->base_instrs = &ir->body;
   return visit_continue;
}

ir_visitor_status
ir_from_ssa_visitor::visit_leave(ir_function_signature *ir)
{
   this->base_instrs = NULL;
   return visit_continue;
}

That way you could get rid of convert_from_ssa_function() and
convert_from_ssa() would just become:

void
convert_from_ssa(exec_list *instructions)
{
   ir_from_ssa_visitor v;
   v.run(instructions);
}


I don't have really strong feelings about it, though.  Provided that the
confusing comment in eliminate_phi_if() is fixed, this patch is:
