I'm not sure why we would ever want the current default if this is an option.
I'm trying to see it, but I can't work out a case where a 64bit pointer would make sense, since the even tens-of-thousands of money supercomputer cards have less than 256KiB of addressable shared memory.

It might be a bit of an intrusive change (albeit a relatively mechanical one), but until we see a GPU come to market that has >4GiB addressable shared memory, I think we should use the "short pointer" datalayout as default
