Summary:
We cannot easily deduce that an offset is in an SGPR, but the Mesa frontend
cannot easily make use of an explicit soffset parameter either. Furthermore,
it is likely that in the future, LLVM will be in a better position than the
frontend to choose an SGPR offset if possible.
Since there aren't any frontend uses of these intrinsics in upstream
repositories yet, I would like to take this opportunity to change the
intrinsic signatures to a single offset parameter, which is then selected
to immediate offsets or voffsets using a ComplexPattern.

Summary:
They correspond to BUFFER_LOAD/STORE_FORMAT_XYZW and will be used by Mesa
to implement the GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store extension.
The intention is that for llvm.amdgcn.buffer.load.format, LLVM will decide
whether one of the _X/_XY/_XYZ opcodes can be used (similar to image sampling
and loads). However, this is not currently implemented.
For llvm.amdgcn.buffer.store, LLVM cannot decide to use one of the "smaller"
opcodes and therefore the intrinsic is overloaded. Currently, only the v4f32
is actually implemented since GLSL also only has a vec4 variant of the store
instructions, although it's conceivable that Mesa will want to be smarter
about this in the future.
BUFFER_LOAD_FORMAT_XYZW is already exposed via llvm.SI.vs.load.input, which
has a legacy name, pretends not to access memory, and does not capture the
full flexibility of the instruction.
