I'm assuming you are using a Southern Islands GPU.  Is this correct?
What errors are you seeing without this patch and with which tests?

SI supports 64-bit operations natively, so I don't think we should be
removing n64 from the DataLayout.  I think you could achieve the same
results by adding a target-specific DAG combine that recognizes
some form of the (i64 add (i64 sext a), (i64 1)) pattern and replaces it
with a 32-bit add.  I think there used to be a generic LLVM IR
optimization that did something like this (I'm not sure what it was
called, maybe "value range propagation"), so reviving this would be
another option.

It appears you are using tests from my opencl demos repo.  If you are
interested, there are more more mature and comprehensive tests in piglit:
http://piglit.freedesktop.org/ take a look at the tests/cl directory.
