NVPTX: Allow PassMode::Direct for ptx kernels for now Upgrading the nvptx toolchain to the newest nightly makes it hit the assert that links to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/115666 It seems like most targets get around this by using `PassMode::Indirect`. That is impossible for the kernel as it's not a normal call, but instead the arguments are copied from CPU to GPU and the passed pointer would be invalid when it reached the GPU. I also made an experiment with `PassMode::Cast` but at least the most simple version of this broke the assembly API tests. I added fixing the pass mode in my unofficial tracking issue list (I do not have the necessary permissions to update to official one). https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/38788#issuecomment-1079021853 Since the ptx_abi is currently unstable and have been working with `PassMode::Direct` for more than a year now, the steps above is hopefully sufficient to enable it as an exception until I can prioritize to fix it. I'm currently looking at steps to enable the CI for nvptx64 again and would prefer to finish that first.
