[PATCH] Change objectsize intrinsic to accept different address spaces.

I'm curious how you're generating the intrinsics that would need the
addrspace cast? I'm not necessarily objecting, just figuring out if
it's a change that necessarily needs to be made or if a change in use
would suffice.

Thanks!
