ALCF CI has been failing since the move to KernelAbstractions 0.10 (#653). Both test jobs crash compiling the private-memory "in-place" test kernel (private.jl:199):

Module compilation failed:
IGC: Internal Compiler Error: Segmentation violation

The kernel passes a @private array to a @noinline function. Aurora's LTS IGC (2.11.29) promotes that array to a register in LowerGEPForPrivMem even though its address escapes, and PrivateMemoryResolution then crashes on the resulting IR. The bundled IGC (2.34.4) compiles the kernel fine; offline, IGC 2.14 and 2.16 crash and 2.22 does not. A standalone OpenCL C reproducer is being reported to Intel through ALCF.

KernelAbstractions' testsuite can only skip its private-memory tests as a whole, so this skips "Private" when ONEAPI_LTS is set, until the LTS stack on Aurora picks up a fix. The rolling stack (Buildkite) keeps running them.

The LTS IGC on Aurora (2.11.29) segfaults compiling KernelAbstractions 0.10's
private "in-place" test kernel, which passes a `@private` array to a
non-inlined function. IGC's LowerGEPForPrivMem promotes the array to a
register even though its address escapes, leaving IR that
PrivateMemoryResolution crashes on. IGC 2.22 and later compile it.

The testsuite can only skip its private-memory tests as a whole, so skip
"Private" when ONEAPI_LTS is set, until ALCF's LTS stack picks up a fix.
