//
// Pointer arguments to kernel functions need to be lowered specially.
//
// 1. Copy byval struct args to local memory. This is a preparation for handling
//    cases like
//
//    kernel void foo(struct A arg, ...)
//    {
//      struct A *p = &arg;
//      ...
//      ... = p->filed1 ...  (this is no generic address for .param)
//      p->filed2 = ...      (this is no write access to .param)
//    }
//
// 2. Convert non-byval pointer arguments of CUDA kernels to pointers in the
//    global address space. This allows later optimizations to emit
//    ld.global.*/st.global.* for accessing these pointer arguments. For
//    example,
//
//    define void @foo(float* %input) {
//      %v = load float, float* %input, align 4
//      ...
//    }
//
//    becomes
//
//    define void @foo(float* %input) {
//      %input2 = addrspacecast float* %input to float addrspace(1)*
//      %input3 = addrspacecast float addrspace(1)* %input2 to float*
//      %v = load float, float* %input3, align 4
//      ...
//    }
//
//    Later, NVPTXFavorNonGenericAddrSpaces will optimize it to
//
//    define void @foo(float* %input) {
//      %input2 = addrspacecast float* %input to float addrspace(1)*
//      %v = load float, float addrspace(1)* %input2, align 4
//      ...
//    }
//
// TODO: merge this pass with NVPTXFavorNonGenericAddrSpace so that other passes
// don't cancel the addrspacecast pair this pass emits.
