I'm a bit behind on this because there are some gotchas.

The recently tagged 5.7.0 is actually a version from April that was just
tagged for the ROCm 5.7 release. That version did not fully use standard
ROCm packaging.

Since then, HEAD has been updated significatnly, including following
standard packaging, so I thought I could base this on 5.7+gitnnnnnnn.
But HEAD also dropped support for gfx900 and gfx906.

I'm still pondering the best approach here, and I'm leaning towards the
tagged 5.7.0 plus some cherry-picked changes, although they are quite large.

Best,
Christian
