Hi Christian and Mario,The librocm-smi reverse dependencies include slurm-wlm, which would be affected by this change. Is rocm-smi useful on platforms without kfd? I don't know, but I think there might actually be users on some other platforms.
I would leave rocm-smi as-is. I don't see any reason to make work for ourselves (and others) by changing the target architectures.

A report that there is no kernel module available is arguably still a useful result. Still, the burden of maintaining rocminfo and its dependencies on driverless platforms does not seem worthwhile if it's all just to print that error message. We're falling behind on our ROCm package maintenance even on amd64 and we should probably pick our battles.
I don't feel strongly about it, but I'm fine with limiting rocminfo to amd64, arm64 and ppc64el.
Sincerely, Cory Bloor
