// Set explicit alignment on byval parameter attributes in the NVPTX backend.
// Without this, the alignment is left unspecified and IR-level analyses (e.g.,
// computeKnownBits via Value::getPointerAlignment) conservatively assume
// Align(1), since the actual alignment is a target-specific codegen detail not
// visible at the IR level.
//
// The alignment is chosen as follows:
//   - Externally-visible functions: ABI type alignment (capped at 128).
//   - Internal/private functions: max(16, ABI align) to enable 128-bit
//     vectorized param loads. The compiler can _increase_ alignment beyond ABI
//     in this case because it has control over all of the call sites and byval
//     parameters are copies allocated by the caller in .param space.
//
// After updating the attribute, the pass propagates the improved alignment to
// all loads from the byval pointer that use a known constant offset.
//
// TODO: Consider removing the load propagation in favor of infer-alignment,
// which should be able to pick up the improved alignment from the attribute.
