I suspect it would be possible to use the existing `DataLayout(StringRef)` constructor on the string, then call `getDefaultGlobalsAddressSpace()` on it, explicitly ignoring modifying the datalayout for the special case of an explicit `-G0`.

For example,

```cpp
  DataLayout ParsedDL = DataLayout(DL);
  if (T.isAMDGPU() && !DL.contains("-G0") &&ParsedDL.getDefaultGlobalsAddressSpace() != 1) {
    return DL.empty() ? std::string("G1") : (DL + "-G1").str();
  }
```

As I understand it, this would cover the fact that we cannot distinguish between an explicit default globals space of zero, and a datalayout without a default globals space (also `DL::getDefaultGlobalsAddressSpace() == 0`) by explicitly excluding the special case `-G0`
