[PATCH] D11774: [NVPTX] Use LDG for pointer induction variables

[Justin Holewinski]

It’s not really a calling convention, and it’s not clear how to handle functions that are entry points *and* device-callable functions.

If you have a strong use case for this, but otherwise I’d rather just have one way to annotate entry points instead of two.

Hi Justin,

Why are we deprecating ptx_kernel? What's bad about it?

That works, but I would like to deprecate it.  The PTX calling conventions are legacy cruft from the old back-end.
