Could you give me an example why we can use just one set of options to control 
host-only and device-only compilation?

Is that because we also have `--cuda-compile-host-device`?
Or is it because `-f` options have `-fno-` variants to override them, while 
`--cuda-host/device-only` don't, so we can't just mark them as an alias in 
Options.td?
To think of it, those are just facets of the same issue -- difference in the 
options syntax.
I do not see semantic differences between the existing options and 
-foffload-*-only.

E.g. I believe you could've used --cuda-host-only and --cuda-device-only  
instead of -foffload-*-only without the loss of functionality of your patch.
