Redesign the ELF format for device-side binaries.
The original binary format is not suitable for device-side binaries.
For example:
Provide a callgraph section to enable binary optimizations at link time, as well as support for lazy loading.
Provide a prototype section to support function pointers.
Provide a section for recording metadata for each function, such as register kind, register number, stack size, etc. This metadata should be extensible, as different architectures may require different metadata, and the attributes of kernel functions and regular functions may also vary.
Moderately reference the CUDA cubin format for inspiration.
