Add a rustc intrinsic `amdgpu_dispatch_ptr` to access the kernel dispatch packet on amdgpu. The HSA kernel dispatch packet contains important information like the launch size and workgroup size. The Rust intrinsic lowers to the `llvm.amdgcn.dispatch.ptr` LLVM intrinsic, which returns a `ptr addrspace(4)`, plus an addrspacecast to `addrspace(0)`, so it can be returned as a Rust reference. The returned pointer/reference is valid for the whole program lifetime, and is therefore `'static`. The return type of the intrinsic (`*const ()`) does not mention the struct so that rustc does not need to know the exact struct type. An alternative would be to define the struct as lang item or add a generic argument to the function. Short version: ```rust #[cfg(target_arch = "amdgpu")] pub fn amdgpu_dispatch_ptr() -> *const (); ```
