Type conversion and argument materialization are context-free: there is no available information on which op / branch is currently being converted.
As a consequence, bare ptr convention cannot be handled as an argument materialization: it would apply irrespectively of the parent op.
This doesn't typecheck in the case of non-funcOp and we would see cases where a memref descriptor would be inserted in place of the pointer in another memref descriptor.
For now the proper behavior is to revert to a specific BarePtrFunc implementation and drop the blanket argument materialization logic.
This reverts the relevant piece of the conversion to LLVM to what it was before https://reviews.llvm.org/D105880 and adds a relevant test and documentation to avoid the mistake by whomever attempts this again in the future.

The dialect-specific cast between builtin (ex-standard) types and LLVM
dialect types was introduced long time before built-in support for
unrealized_conversion_cast. It has a similar purpose, but is restricted
to compatible builtin and LLVM dialect types, which may hamper
progressive lowering and composition with types from other dialects.
Replace llvm.mlir.cast with unrealized_conversion_cast, and drop the
operation that became unnecessary.
Also make unrealized_conversion_cast legal by default in
LLVMConversionTarget as the majority of convesions using it are partial
conversions that actually want the casts to persist in the IR. The
standard-to-llvm conversion, which is still expected to run last, cleans
up the remaining casts standard-to-llvm conversion, which is still
expected to run last, cleans up the remaining casts

After the MemRef has been split out of the Standard dialect, the
conversion to the LLVM dialect remained as a huge monolithic pass.
This is undesirable for the same complexity management reasons as having
a huge Standard dialect itself, and is even more confusing given the
existence of a separate dialect. Extract the conversion of the MemRef
dialect operations to LLVM into a separate library and a separate
conversion pass.

This class and classes that extend it are general utilities for any dialect
that is being converted into the LLVM dialect. They are in no way specific to
Standard-to-LLVM conversion and should not make their users depend on it.

"Standard-to-LLVM" conversion is one of the oldest passes in existence. It has
become quite large due to the size of the Standard dialect itself, which is
being split into multiple smaller dialects. Furthermore, several conversion
features are useful for any dialect that is being converted to the LLVM
dialect, which, without this refactoring, creates a dependency from those
conversions to the "standard-to-llvm" one.
Put several of the reusable utilities from this conversion to a separate
library, namely:
- type converter from builtin to LLVM dialect types;
- utility for building and accessing values of LLVM structure type;
- utility for building and accessing values that represent memref in the LLVM
dialect;
- lowering options applicable everywhere.
Additionally, remove the type wrapping/unwrapping notion from the type
converter that is no longer relevant since LLVM types has been reimplemented as
first-class MLIR types.
