In this case OpenMP doesn't allow the implementation to choose what to do,
it really should copy it bitwise in this case.
There are cases where it will still work, e.g. if the pointer was in
use_device_ptr clause on surrounding target data construct (doesn't even
need to be visible to the compiler, could be in some non-visible caller),
otherwise it would be a user bug.
Warning might be useful, but only if we can prove the pointer value is
really a host pointer, rather than use_device_ptr translated pointer or say
something constructed out of CUDA or other APIs.
