Hi all, LLVM needs a solution to the long-standing problem that the IR is unable to express certain semantics expected by high-level programming languages that target GPUs. Solving this issue is necessary both for upstream use of LLVM as a compiler backend for GPUs and for correctly supporting LLVM IR <-> SPIR-V roundtrip translation. It may also be useful for compilers targeting
