Most of the work for this is done for us by spirv_to_nir which gives us
a load_global from a memory address based on the shader_record_ptr
system values.

This is a little bit more work than executeCallable() because we also
have to set up the MemRay data structure which the ray traversal
hardware uses to keep its state.

In ray-tracing shader stages, we have a real call stack and so we can't
use the normal scratch mechanism. Instead, the invocation's stack lives
in a memory region of the RT scratch buffer that sits after the HW ray
stacks. We handle this by asking nir_lower_io to lower local variables
to 64-bit global memory access. Unlike nir_lower_io for 32-bit offset
scratch, when 64-bit global access is requested, nir_lower_io generates
an address calculation which starts from a load_scratch_base_ptr. We
then lower this intrinsic to the appropriate address calculation in
brw_nir_lower_rt_intrinsics.
When a COMPUTE_WALKER command is sent to the hardware with the BTD Mode
bit set to true, the hardware generates a set of stack IDs, one for each
invocation. These then get passed along from one shader invocation to
the next as we trace the ray. We can use those stack IDs to figure out
which stack our invocation needs to access. Because we may not be the
first shader in the stack, there's a per-stack offset that gets stored
in the "hotzone".

The new intrinsics we added for doing address calculations are all
things we fetch from the RT_DISPATCH_GLOBALS struct. We could emit an
RT_DISPATCH_GLOBALS load at every point we want it and trust NIR to CSE
it for us but it's easier to use intermediate intrinsics.
