That's not the point I was making. For cpu cgroups there's a very well
defined connection between the cpu bitmasks/numbers in cgroups and the cpu
bitmasks you use in various system calls (they match). And that stuff
works across vendors.

We need the same for gpus.

So pure abstraction isn't useful, we need to know what these bits mean.
Since if they e.g. mean vk pipes, then maybe I shouldn't be using those vk
pipes in my application anymore. Or we need to define that the userspace
driver needs to filter out any pipes that arent' accessible (if that's
possible, no idea).

cgroups that essentially have pure hw depedent meaning aren't useful.
Note: this is about the fundamental meaning, not about the more unclear
isolation guarantees (which are indeed hw specific on different cpu
platforms). We're not talking about "different gpus might have different
amounts of shared caches bitween different bitmasks". We're talking
"different gpus might assign completely differen meaning to these
bitmasks".
