//
// 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 removing addrspacecasts directly used by loads/stores, this
// optimization also recursively traces into a GEP's pointer operand and a
// bitcast's source to find more eliminable addrspacecasts.
//
// 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 = bitcast float* %1 to i32*
//   %3 = load i32* %2 ; emits ld.u32
//
// First, function hoistAddrSpaceCastFrom reorders the addrspacecast, the GEP,
// and the bitcast 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 = bitcast float addrspace(3)* %0 to i32 addrspace(3)*
//   %2 = addrspacecast i32 addrspace(3)* %1 to i32*
//   %3 = load i32* %2 ; still emits ld.u32, 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
//   %1 = bitcast float addrspace(3)* %0 to i32 addrspace(3)*
//   %3 = load i32 addrspace(3)* %1 ; emits ld.shared.f32
//
// This pass may remove an addrspacecast in a different BB. Therefore, we
// implement it as a FunctionPass.
//
// TODO:
// The current implementation doesn't handle PHINodes. Eliminating
// addrspacecasts used by PHINodes is trickier because PHINodes can introduce
// loops in data flow. For example,
//
//     %generic.input = addrspacecast float addrspace(3)* %input to float*
//   loop:
//     %y = phi [ %generic.input, %y2 ]
//     %y2 = getelementptr %y, 1
//     %v = load %y2
//     br ..., label %loop, ...
//
// Marking %y2 shared depends on marking %y shared, but %y also data-flow
// depends on %y2. We probably need an iterative fix-point algorithm on handle
// this case.
