__hipRegisterFunction and __hipRegisterVar need to accept device side kernel and variable names
so that HIP runtime can associate kernel stub functions in host code with kernel symbols in fat binaries,
and associate shadow variables in host code with device variables in fat binaries.
Currently, clang assumes kernel functions and device variables have the same name as the kernel
stub functions and shadow variables. However, when host is compiled in windows with MSVC C++
ABI and device is compiled with Itanium C++ ABI (e.g. AMDGPU), kernels and device symbols in fat
binary are mangled differently than host.
This patch gets the device side kernel and variable name by mangling them in the mangle context
of aux target.

IRgen optimization opportunities.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
The common pattern of
--
short x; // or char, etc
(x == 10)
--
generates an zext/sext of x which can easily be avoided.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
Bitfields accesses can be shifted to simplify masking and sign
extension. For example, if the bitfield width is 8 and it is
appropriately aligned then is is a lot shorter to just load the char
directly.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
It may be worth avoiding creation of alloca's for formal arguments
for the common situation where the argument is never written to or has
its address taken. The idea would be to begin generating code by using
the argument directly and if its address is taken or it is stored to
then generate the alloca and patch up the existing code.
In theory, the same optimization could be a win for block local
variables as long as the declaration dominates all statements in the
block.
NOTE: The main case we care about this for is for -O0 -g compile time
performance, and in that scenario we will need to emit the alloca
anyway currently to emit proper debug info. So this is blocked by
being able to emit debug information which refers to an LLVM
temporary, not an alloca.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
We should try and avoid generating basic blocks which only contain
jumps. At -O0, this penalizes us all the way from IRgen (malloc &
instruction overhead), all the way down through code generation and
assembly time.
On 176.gcc:expr.ll, it looks like over 12% of basic blocks are just
direct branches!
