Supporting host memory registration in CUDA via external buffers. (#11899)

Re-landing #11848 that was reverted in #11895 due to performance
regressions.

The original commit included context push/pop during deallocation which
resulted in device synchronizes due to CUDA's context threading model.
For now a warning has been added that (like much of the current CUDA
driver) threading is not quite handled right. User APIs that may manage
buffer lifetime will need to be aware of the thread they are releasing
buffers on until a larger cleanup can be performed and that was the case
before the changes made here.

The original commit also incorrectly allowed requests for imports as
DEVICE_LOCAL usage to be performed when importing host allocations; this
led to program constant buffers being mapped from files and used as if
they were on device.

This reverts commit 3c78102749f8ceb3f82bf9a103a74d215adf160b.

IREE: Intermediate Representation Execution Environment

IREE (Intermediate Representation Execution Environment, pronounced as “eerie”) is an MLIR-based end-to-end compiler and runtime that lowers Machine Learning (ML) models to a unified IR that scales up to meet the needs of the datacenter and down to satisfy the constraints and special considerations of mobile and edge deployments.

See our website for project details, user guides, and instructions on building from source.

Project Status

IREE is still in its early phase. We have settled down on the overarching infrastructure and are actively improving various software components as well as project logistics. It is still quite far from ready for everyday use and is made available without any support at the moment. With that said, we welcome any kind of feedback on any communication channels!
