Description
It seems libnvvm 1.8 came out some time recently and it supposedly fixes i128 in data layouts, so we do not have to replace i128 for libnvvm 1.8 (supposedly).

Research direction
Start by locating the libnvvm compatibility logic that replaces i128 and compare its data-layout handling with libnvvm 1.8. Done means i128 is no longer replaced when targeting libnvvm 1.8, with the relevant behavior verified against the project’s existing checks or tests.
