Summary: I'll probably want to use this as a more generic utility in the future. This patch reworks it to make it a top level function. I also tried to decouple this from the OpenMP utilities to make that easier in the future. Instead, I just use `-march=native` functionality which is the same thing. Needed a small hack to skip the linker stage for checking if that works. This should still create the same output as far as I'm aware.
The LLVM/Offload Subproject
The Offload subproject aims at providing tooling, runtimes, and APIs that allow users to execute code on accelerators or other "co-processors" that may or may not match the architecture of their "host". In the long run, all kinds of targets are in scope of this effort, including but not limited to: CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, AI/ML accelerators, distributed resources, etc.
For OpenMP offload users, the project is ready and fully usable. The final API design is still under development. More content will show up here and on our webpage soon. In the meantime, people are encouraged to participate in our meetings (see below) and check our development board as well as the discussions on Discourse.
