This extension allows the application to query a 64-bit buffer device
address value for a buffer, which can be used to access the buffer memory
via the code:PhysicalStorageBufferEXT storage class in the
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/GLSL/blob/master/extensions/ext/GLSL_EXT_buffer_reference.txt[`GL_EXT_buffer_reference`]
GLSL extension and
http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Registry/blob/master/extensions/EXT/SPV_EXT_physical_storage_buffer.html[`SPV_EXT_physical_storage_buffer`]
SPIR-V extension.
It also allows buffer device addresses to be provided by a trace replay
tool, so that it matches the address used when the trace was captured.
