Test case:
```
@lds.0 = internal addrspace(3) global [64 x float] poison, align 16
@lds.1 = internal addrspace(3) global [64 x float] poison, align 16

declare void @llvm.amdgcn.raw.buffer.load.lds(<4 x i32> %rsrc, ptr addrspace(3) nocapture, i32 %size, i32 %voffset, i32 %soffset, i32 %offset, i32 %aux)

define amdgpu_kernel void @f(<4 x i32> %rsrc, i32 %i1, i32 %i2, ptr addrspace(1) %out, ptr addrspace(3) %ptr) {
main_body:
  call void @llvm.amdgcn.raw.buffer.load.lds(<4 x i32> %rsrc, ptr addrspace(3) @lds.0, i32 4, i32 0, i32 0, i32 0, i32 0)
  call void @llvm.amdgcn.raw.buffer.load.lds(<4 x i32> %rsrc, ptr addrspace(3) %ptr, i32 4, i32 0, i32 0, i32 0, i32 0)
  %gep.0 = getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(3) @lds.0, i32 %i1
  %gep.1 = getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(3) @lds.1, i32 %i2
  %val.0 = load volatile float, ptr addrspace(3) %gep.0, align 4
  %val.1 = load volatile float, ptr addrspace(3) %gep.1, align 4
  %out.gep.1 = getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(1) %out, i32 1
  store float %val.0, ptr addrspace(1) %out
  store float %val.1, ptr addrspace(1) %out.gep.1
  ret void
}
```

	s_load_dword s2, s[0:1], 0x44

	s_waitcnt lgkmcnt(0)
	global_store_dwordx2 v2, v[0:1], s[10:11]
	s_endpgm
```
The `s_waitcnt vmcnt(1)` seems incorrect, because the second buffer-load-to-lds might clobber `@lds.0`.

I am still happy, because buffer/flat/global-load-to-lds was removed in GFX11.
