This revision is now accepted and ready to land.

So, to summarize how the patch changes the under-the-hood kernel launch 
machinery:

- device-side is unchanged. Kernel function is generated with the real kernel 
name
- host-side stub is still generated with the `__device_stub` prefix.
- host-side generates a 'handle' variable with the kernel function name, which 
is a pointer to the stub.
- host-side registers the `handle variable` -> `device-side kernel name` 
association with the HIP runtime.
- the address of the handle variable is used everywhere where we need a kernel 
pointer on the host side. I.e. passing kernel pointers around, referring to 
kernels across TUs, etc.
- `<<<>>>` becomes an indirect call to a `__device_stub` function using the 
pointer retrieved from the handle.
