rjmccall added a comment.

Arguably we should add this attribute to all indirect arguments.  I can 
understand not wanting to update all the test cases, but you could probably 
avoid adding a new IndirectByRef kind of ABIArgInfo by treating kernels 
specially in ConstructAttributeList.

Or, sorry, I forget — is this semantically necessary because the argument is to 
constant memory and the callee has to copy it to form the mutable local?  If 
so, I think (1) the above statement about theoretically using `byref` on all 
arguments still applies and (2) we do need a new ABIArgInfo kind, but we should 
name it something like IndirectAliased.
