Build Kalmar with Grid Launch Support

There is a feature branch named grid_launch_integration that allows building of Grid Launch code.

Starting with fresh build:

git clone git@bitbucket.org:multicoreware/cppamp-driver-ng-35.git $kalmar_src
cd $kalmar_src && git checkout grid_launch_integration
Run git show to make sure it's on commit # c865cd2...

You must also checkout the branch under clang. If this is a fresh clone of Kalmar, you must run cmake first to fetch clang 

cd ..
mkdir $kalmar_build
cd $kalmar_build
cmake ../$kalmar_src

cd $kalmar_src/compiler/tools/clang
git checkout grid_launch_integration
Run git show to make sure it's on commit # 29b33ed...

Continue with build:

cd $kalmar_build
make world -j4 && make -j4

Run tests:

export CLAMP_RUNTIME=HSA
make test
make test should report close to the following: 
  Expected Passes    : 453
  Expected Failures  : 16
  Unsupported Tests  : 11
  Unexpected Failures: 18

make conformance
All tests before the very last one should pass. The following may fail: 
$kalmar_src/amp-conformance/Tests/7_para_for_each/ComputeDomain/extent_max/test.cpp : failed, timeout

Running individual Grid Launch code:

To try out the current individual test case look at the following directory:

$kalmar_src/tests/Unit/HIP  
file: vectoradd_hc.cpp
If Kalmar's clang and clamp-config are in your path, the procedure for compiling the grid launch code is the same as compiling Kalmar code while adding a -hc flag to the command:

Replace --build with --install if you're using an installed version of Kalmar.
clang `clamp-config --build --cxxflags --ldflags` -hc vectoradd_hc.cpp -o vectoradd

Separate linkage also works:

clang `clamp-config --build --cxxflags` -hc vectoradd_hc.cpp -c -o vectoradd.o
clang `clamp-config --build --ldflags` -hc vectoradd.o -o vectoradd

Run the executable!

./vectoradd
Error code will return 0 and nothing should appear if the executable ran correctly.

Possible Issues:
A recent change in Kalmar incorporated HLC and HSAILasm into the build process. You might need to install additional dependencies as stated in the updated documentation.
