Suggested change
if (StoreBase != LoadBase || Offset < 0)
if (StoreBase != LoadBase || LoadOffset < StoreOffset)

and move Offset calculation down. Otherwise we risk signed integer overflow.

Please rebase over b18377c, the diff is unintelligible with partial check lines.

I think you need to adjust the comment to say that we're checking that the value from the memset rather than the preceding store is forwarded.

return nullptr;

// If there is an offset, make sure the load size is a multiple of 8.

I don't really get why this condition is needed / how it relates to the non-zero offset.
