// Replace each generic alloca with an equivalent alloca in the local address
// space, followed by an addrspacecast back to generic for its users. For
// example,
//
//   %A = alloca i32
//   store i32 0, ptr %A ; emits st.u32
//
// is transformed to
//
//   %A = alloca i32, addrspace(5)
//   %A.generic = addrspacecast ptr addrspace(5) %A to ptr
//   store i32 0, ptr %A.generic
//
// This gives the alloca a local frame index, which stack lowering addresses
// through the local frame pointer (%SPL). When NVPTXInferAddressSpaces runs
// after this pass, it propagates the local address space into the users and
// folds the cast away where possible (so the store above becomes st.local.u32).
