// For all alloca instructions, and add a pair of cast to local address for

//
//   %A = alloca i32
//   store i32 0, i32* %A ; emits st.u32
//
// will be transformed to
//
//   %A = alloca i32
//   %Local = addrspacecast i32* %A to i32 addrspace(5)*
//   %Generic = addrspacecast i32 addrspace(5)* %A to i32*
//   store i32 0, i32 addrspace(5)* %Generic ; emits st.local.u32
//
// And we will rely on NVPTXInferAddressSpaces to combine the last two
