+       - nvptx offloading: 'targetm.goacc.adjust_private_decl' only sets a

+     Eventually (in particular, for worker-private level?), both
+     'targetm.goacc.adjust_private_decl' and 'targetm.goacc.expand_var_decl'
+     may need to do things, but that's currently not meant to be addressed, and
+     thus not fully worked out and implemented, and thus untested.  Hence,
+     'assert' what currently is implemented/tested, only.  */
