Thanks. All of them worked except -fintegrated-as, which was causing us not to invoke ptxas. Fixed, and added a test.

It's a special case either way, but there are enough places that look for a CudaDeviceAction that I *think* this special case is cleaner than having a bunch of if (CudaDeviceAction || CudaDeviceLinkAction)s floating around.

Got rid of the extra type. Note that this means that our intermediate objs will be named foo.o instead of foo.cubin, which isn't optimal, but I agree that it's simpler without the extra type.

Yes, but we're doing something slightly different here. Suppose you have a CudaDeviceAction --> BackendAction. What do you want the InputInfo's Action to be? Without this change, it's the BackendAction. But we really want it to be the CudaDeviceAction. Thus this line.
I updated the comment in an attempt to clarify.

Tried this and discovered it's actually subtly different in a way that, thankfully, affects one of the tests I added.
if (!BoundArch) continue applies only if A->getOption().matches(options::OPT_Xarch__). So we can't hoist it into an early return.

Oh goodness, how awful. Thank you for catching that. Fixed.
