Yes, I totally agree userptr can accelerate shm buffers, but I currently
don't know if there are any other projects working on similar features,
or if maintainers have any opinions or better ways to implement them, so
I temporarily limit this feature to HSAKMT context only.

I am waiting for everyone's opinions, please provide your thoughts.
