Const/local/shared address spaces are all < 4GB and we can always use
32-bit pointers to access them. This has substantial performance impact
on kernels that uses shared memory for intermediary results.
The feature is disabled by default.

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.
