Description
Currently, most projects run cargo clippy on the CPU target and hope that it covers most gpu-specific code as well. But that will ignore all #[gpu-only] functions and entry points, not checking them at all. We should investigate a way we can run clippy with spirv targets. This may be better suited for cargo gpu, since cargo gpu clippy would work quite nicely.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how cargo clippy handles the CPU target and how cargo gpu represents SPIR-V targets; done means establishing a viable way to lint gpu-only functions and entry points, potentially through a cargo gpu clippy command.
