15 tests are broken on the mlir-nvidia buildbot:
'cuModuleLoadData(&module, data)' failed with 'CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_SOURCE'
'cuModuleGetFunction(&function, module, name)' failed with 'CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE'
'cuLaunchKernel(function, gridX, gridY, gridZ, blockX, blockY, blockZ, smem, stream, params, extra)' failed with 'CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE'
'cuModuleUnload(module)' failed with 'CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE'
This work improves how we compile the generated PTX code using the `ptxas` compiler. Currently, we rely on the driver's jit API to compile the PTX code. However, this approach has some limitations. It doesn't always produce the same binary output as the ptxas compiler, leading to potential inconsistencies in the generated Cubin files.
This work introduces a significant improvement by directly utilizing the ptxas compiler for PTX compilation. By doing so, we can achieve more consistent and reliable results in generating cubin files. Key Benefits:
- Using the Ptxas compiler directly ensures that the cubin files generated during the build process remain consistent with CUDA compilation using `nvcc` or `clang`.
- Another advantage of this work is that it allows developers to experiment with different ptxas compilers without the need to change the compiler. Performance among ptxas compiler versions are vary, therefore, one can easily try different ptxas compilers.

This fixes builds for 7e78ecfe10ea9071234de8d385b87d338d280266 (both cmake and bazel) as well as trim unnecessary dependencies.
This is achieved by moving the functionality to test/lib/GPU which is a more natural landing pad.
