The address space of the pointer must be global (1) for these intrinsics. There must also be alignment metadata attached to the intrinsic calls, e.g.
%val = tail call i32 @llvm.nvvm.ldu.i.global.i32.p1i32(i32 addrspace(1)* %ptr), !align !0!0 = metadata !{i32 4}

This commit adds intrinsics and codegen support for the surface read/write and texture read instructions that take an explicit sampler parameter. Codegen operates on image handles at the PTX level, but falls back to direct replacement of handles with kernel arguments if image handles are not enabled. Note that image handles are explicitly disabled for all target architectures in this change (to be enabled later).

This converter currently only handles global variables in address space 0. For
these variables, they are promoted to address space 1 (global memory), and all
uses are updated to point to the result of a cvta.global instruction on the new
variable.
The motivation for this is address space 0 global variables are illegal since we
cannot declare variables in the generic address space. Instead, we place the
variables in address space 1 and explicitly convert the pointer to address
space 0. This is primarily intended to help new users who expect to be able to
place global variables in the default address space.

Vectors were being manually scalarized by the backend. Instead,
let the target-independent code do all of the work. The manual
scalarization was from a time before good target-independent support
for scalarization in LLVM. However, this forces us to specially-handle
vector loads and stores, which we can turn into PTX instructions that
produce/consume multiple operands.

The new target machines are:
nvptx (old ptx32) => 32-bit PTX
nvptx64 (old ptx64) => 64-bit PTX
The sources are based on the internal NVIDIA NVPTX back-end, and
contain more functionality than the current PTX back-end currently
provides.
