// Arguments to kernel and device functions are passed via param space,
// which imposes certain restrictions:
// http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/parallel-thread-execution/#state-spaces
//
// Kernel parameters are read-only and accessible only via ld.param
// instruction, directly or via a pointer. Pointers to kernel
// arguments can't be converted to generic address space.
//
// Device function parameters are directly accessible via
// ld.param/st.param, but taking the address of one returns a pointer
// to a copy created in local space which *can't* be used with
// ld.param/st.param.
//
// Copying a byval struct into local memory in IR allows us to enforce
// the param space restrictions, gives the rest of IR a pointer w/o
// param space restrictions, and gives us an opportunity to eliminate
// the copy.
//
// Pointer arguments to kernel functions need more work to be lowered:
//
// 1. 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, NVPTXInferAddressSpaces 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
// ...
// }
//
// 2. Convert pointers in a byval kernel parameter to pointers in the global
// address space. As #2, it allows NVPTX to emit more ld/st.global. E.g.,
//
// struct S {
// int *x;
// int *y;
// };
// __global__ void foo(S s) {
// int *b = s.y;
// // use b
// }
//
// "b" points to the global address space. In the IR level,
//
// define void @foo({i32*, i32*}* byval %input) {
// %b_ptr = getelementptr {i32*, i32*}, {i32*, i32*}* %input, i64 0, i32 1
// %b = load i32*, i32** %b_ptr
// ; use %b
// }
//
// becomes
//
// define void @foo({i32*, i32*}* byval %input) {
// %b_ptr = getelementptr {i32*, i32*}, {i32*, i32*}* %input, i64 0, i32 1
// %b = load i32*, i32** %b_ptr
// %b_global = addrspacecast i32* %b to i32 addrspace(1)*
// %b_generic = addrspacecast i32 addrspace(1)* %b_global to i32*
// ; use %b_generic
// }
//
// TODO: merge this pass with NVPTXInferAddressSpaces so that other passes don't
// cancel the addrspacecast pair this pass emits.

// %temp = alloca %struct.x, align 8
