Summary:
This is done by first adding two additional instructions to convert the
alloca returned address to local and convert it back to generic. Then
replace all uses of alloca instruction with the converted generic
address. Then we can rely NVPTXFavorNonGenericAddrSpace pass to combine
the generic addresscast and the corresponding Load, Store, Bitcast, GEP
Instruction together.
