Currently LLVM assumes that a pointer addrspacecasted to a different addr space is equivalent to trunc or zext bitwise, which is not true. For example, in amdgcn target, when a null pointer is addrspacecasted from addr space 4 to 0, its value is changed from i64 0 to i32 -1.
This patch teaches LLVM not to assume known bits of addrspacecast instruction to its operand.
