// For CUDA kernels, pointers loaded from byval parameters are known to be in
// global address space. This pass inserts addrspacecast pairs to make that
// explicit, enabling later address-space inference to propagate the global AS.
// It also handles the pattern where a pointer is loaded as an integer and then
// converted via inttoptr.
