+// This file implements a pass that deals with expanding AMDGCN generic feature
+// predicates into target specific quantities / sequences. In this context, a
+// generic feature predicate is an implementation detail global variable that
+// is inserted by the FE as a consequence of using either the __builtin_cpu_is
+// or the __builtin_amdgcn_is_invocable special builtins on an abstract target
+// (AMDGCNSPIRV). These placeholder globals are used to guide target specific
+// lowering, once the concrete target is known, by way of constant folding their
+// value all the way into a terminator (i.e. a controlled block) or into a no
+// live use scenario. The pass makes a best effort attempt to look through
+// calls, i.e. a constant evaluatable passthrough of a predicate value will
+// generally work, however we hard fail if the folding fails, to avoid obtuse
+// BE errors or opaque run time errors. This pass should run as early as
+// possible / immediately after Clang CodeGen, so that the optimisation pipeline
+// and the BE operate with concrete target data.

So to clarify, optimizations will never be applied during the compilation to amdgcnspirv? If that's the case, I guess it's not likely that IR will be transformed in problematic ways.

It did occur to me that a way to guarantee that the folding works is by using a callbr intrinsic, something like this:
```llvm
callbr void @llvm.amdgcn.processor.is(metadata "gfx803") to label %unsupported [label %supported]
```
This would make the check fundamentally inseparable from the control flow.

But I guess you'd have trouble round-tripping that via SPIRV...
