[PATCH v3 00/16] CHECKPOINT RESTORE WITH ROCm

CRIU is a user space tool which is very popular for container live migration in datacentres. It can checkpoint a running application, save its complete state, memory contents and all system resources to images on disk which can be migrated to another m achine and restored later. More information on CRIU can be found at https://criu.org/Main_Page

CRIU currently does not support Checkpoint / Restore with applications that have devices files open so it cannot perform checkpoint and restore on GPU devices which are very complex and have their own VRAM managed privately. CRIU, however can support e xternal devices by using a plugin architecture. This patch series adds initial support for ROCm applications while we add more remaining features. We welcome some feedback, especially in regards to the APIs, before involving a larger audience.

Our changes to CRIU are can be obtained from here:
https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/criu/tree/amdgpu_rfc-210715-2

We have tested the following scenarios:
-Checkpoint / Restore of a Pytorch (BERT) workload -kfdtests with queues and events
-Gfx9 and Gfx10 based multi GPU test systems -On baremetal and inside a docker container -Restoring on a different system

V1: Initial
V2: Addressed review comments
V3: Rebased on latest amd-staging-drm-next

PS: There will be an upcoming V4 patch series with minor additions to the API's to support HMM.
