Is there any way currently in LLVM to specify different pointer sizes for
different address spaces?

[Villmow, Micah] How much work would it be to add support for this? We have some
address spaces that are 64bit, some that are 32bit and some that are 16bit.
Being able to calculate addresses with different instructions would be a nice
performance improvements.
