Daniil Kovalev 828b63c309 [NVPTX] Enhance vectorization of ld.param & st.param
Since function parameters and return values are passed via param space, we
can force special alignment for values hold in it which will add vectorization
options. This change may be done if the function has private or internal
linkage. Special alignment is forced during 2 phases.

1) Instruction selection lowering. Here we use special alignment for function
   prototypes (changing both own return value and parameters alignment), call
   lowering (changing both callee's return value and parameters alignment).

2) IR pass nvptx-lower-args. Here we change alignment of byval parameters that
   belong to param space (or are casted to it). We only handle cases when all
   uses of such parameters are loads from it. For such loads, we can change the
   alignment according to special type alignment and the load offset. Then,
   load-store-vectorizer IR pass will perform vectorization where alignment
   allows it.

Special alignment calculated as maximum from default ABI type alignment and
alignment 16. Alignment 16 is chosen because it's the maximum size of
vectorized ld.param & st.param.

Before specifying such special alignment, we should check if it is a multiple
of the alignment that the type already has. For example, if a value has an
enforced alignment of 64, default ABI alignment of 4 and special alignment
of 16, we should preserve 64.

This patch will be followed by a refactoring patch that removes duplicating
code in handling byval and non-byval arguments.

// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
on the Clang forums:
