block block_0:
}

(The validation check it errors on was only added locally)

So I'm wondering what the semantic of the cast should be I tihnk we
have two cases here that we want to handle completely different:

1) We have noop casts that we add for metadata purposes when the src
is not a deref.
2) We have casts that actually cast between address spaces specified
by the app, where the app essentially says: trust me, I know what I'm
doing.

So in the inline case we can certainly fix up all the downstream deref
and casts from the param. However, that gets into issues when an
application has casts from case (2). Especially if we have a select or
phi between a param and an actual local variable, we need to convert
to the generic address space which (a) not all drivers may support and
(b) throws away any info given by the cast for (2).

For Vulkan we could do the following:

1) special case pointers to Samplers, and don't allow casting to/from
them typewise (or arrays to etc.). If we have that we can either in a
fixup pass only work on sampler derefs, or we can in spirv_to_nir
directly use uniform var mode already.
2) Store the Sampler2D in a local variable. In case we can't lower the
variable there are drivers which can't support it, and getting some of
the layout metadata might be impossible (e.g. multiplane images?)
3) Split the casting instruction into two, one to "just bring the data
into a deref" and another actual cast.

I think solution 1) is the only one that is not going to need advanced
driver support (generic address space or storing Samplers in
variables). Though I'd be happy to hear if something has a better
idea.
