As explained in the comment:
// For a FLAT instruction the hardware decides whether to access
// global/scratch/shared memory based on the high bits of vaddr,
// ignoring the offset field, so we have to ensure that when we add
// remainder to vaddr it still points into the same underlying object.
// The easiest way to do that is to make sure that we split the offset
// into two pieces that are both >= 0 or both <= 0.
In particular FLAT (as opposed to SCRATCH and GLOBAL) instructions have
an unsigned immediate offset field, so we can't use it to help split a
negative offset.

We handle it this way for some other address spaces.
Since r349196, SILoadStoreOptimizer has been trying to do this. This
is after SIFoldOperands runs, which can change the addressing
patterns. It's simpler to just split this earlier.
