LLVM IR recently added a Type parameter to the byval Attribute, so that
when pointers become opaque and no longer have an element type the
information will still be present in IR.
For now the Type parameter is optional (which is why Clang didn't need
this change at the time), but it will become mandatory soon.

This is important in the case that the LLVM-inferred llvm-struct
alignment is not the same as the clang-known C-struct alignment.

Following the NVVM IR specifications, arguments of aggregate type should be
passed on the stack without splitting (byval).
