Summary: This patch moves the RPC server handling to be a header only utility stored in the `shared/` directory. This is intended to be shared within LLVM for the loaders and `offload/` handling. Generally, this makes it easier to share code without weird cross-project binaries being plucked out of the build system. It also allows us to soon move the loader interface out of the `libc` project so that we don't need to bootstrap those and can build them in LLVM.
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.
