Piglit has atomic_* covered, but not the CL 1.0 atom_* functions.

The issue I'm running into with the CTS is that atomic_* works fine,
but I'm getting an ambiguous function reference for
atom_inc/atom_dec/atom_or/atom_and.

Example:

#pragma OPENCL EXTENSION cl_khr_global_int32_base_atomics : enable
__kernel void test_atomic_fn(volatile __global uint *destMemory,
__global uint *oldValues)
{
    int  tid = get_global_id(0);
    oldValues[tid] = atom_dec( &destMemory[0] );
}

Log:
Build not successful for device "AMD PITCAIRN (DRM 2.49.0 /
4.11.0-041100rc8-generic, LLVM 5.0.0)", status: CL_BUILD_ERROR

Yes, it looks like it does.  When building libclc and running the CTS
tests, everything looks ok, but if I compile the atom_dec kernel
manually via clang, I get:
--------------------------------

--------------------------------

So yeah, I guess this is the wrong approach.

I did just discover while poking around at the kernel that if I remove
the "volatile" keyword from destMemory, then the kernel builds fine.
The difference in the atomic_inc and the CL 1.0 atom_inc function
declarations is basically that volatile keyword. If I re-add the
volatile keyword to the kernel, and then also add it to the function
declaration in atom_dec.h, the kernel also builds.  Looking at POCL
and Beignet they both just do a single blanket define in a top-level
header file along the lines of:
#define atom_dec atomic_dec

That implies that both of those runtimes declare the global/local
pointers as volatile even for the CL1.0 variants, which doesn't
necessarily match the spec (although given how the CL 1.1/1.2 spec are
written, they basically just say "the CL 1.0 atom_* functions are
still supported), but it is what the CTS is testing.  I don't
currently have access to the definitions that nv/amd use in their
closed-source binaries (and I haven't managed to find what ROCm uses,
but I'm thinking that the implication is that when Khronos
renamed/aliased atom_* to atomic_* in CL 1.1, they were implicitly
retroactively adding the 'volatile' keyword to the function argument.

I guess we could just remove the existing defines under
cl_khr_[global|local]_int32_base_atomics and put a single set of
defines in either clc.h, or in a new header under something like
generic/include/clc/atomic/atom_functions.h that just defines the
renames of the existing functions. Alternatively, we could just go
back and add the volatile keyword to the pointer arguments in the
atom_* headers/implementations.

Thoughts?
