AMP defines a set of rules for functions decorated with restrict(amp)
clause. I would think checking for those rules is frontend's job. Now, most
of those rules arise because AMP is targeting DirectX. If the Linux version
is targeting OpenCL, then some of those rules could go away, but I would
still think some work has to be done in the frontend for checking target
compatibility.
