//
// When a load/store accesses the generic address space, checks whether the
// address is casted from a non-generic address space. If so, remove this
// addrspacecast because accessing non-generic address spaces is typically
// faster. Besides seeking addrspacecasts, this optimization also traces into
// the base pointer of a GEP.
//
// For instance, the code below loads a float from an array allocated in
// addrspace(3).
//
// %0 = addrspacecast [10 x float] addrspace(3)* @a to [10 x float]*
// %1 = gep [10 x float]* %0, i64 0, i64 %i
// %2 = load float* %1 ; emits ld.f32
//
// First, function hoistAddrSpaceCastFromGEP reorders the addrspacecast
// and the GEP to expose more optimization opportunities to function
// optimizeMemoryInst. The intermediate code looks like:
//
// %0 = gep [10 x float] addrspace(3)* @a, i64 0, i64 %i
// %1 = addrspacecast float addrspace(3)* %0 to float*
// %2 = load float* %1 ; still emits ld.f32, but will be optimized shortly
//
// Then, function optimizeMemoryInstruction detects a load from addrspacecast'ed
// generic pointers, and folds the load and the addrspacecast into a load from
// the original address space. The final code looks like:
//
// %0 = gep [10 x float] addrspace(3)* @a, i64 0, i64 %i
// %2 = load float addrspace(3)* %0 ; emits ld.shared.f32
//
// This pass may remove an addrspacecast in a different BB. Therefore, we
// implement it as a FunctionPass.
