Ah, a chicken and egg problem. I think this is the first time we're 
adding a new ioctl to upstream KFD rather than upstreaming one that's 
been developed internally first. Maybe not the right way to do it.

I should be able to publish the user mode code in libhsakmt next week. 
Then we'll work on a kfdtest to validate the firmware functionality. 
Finally we'll use GWS further up the software stack for synchronization 
of concurrent compute workgroups.
