2021-11-23	Fix T93109: Cycles HIP missing check for correct driver version	Sayak Biswas
	21.Q4 is required, older version should not show devices in the preferences. This adds a check for the file version of amdhip64.dll file during hipew initialization. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D13324
2021-11-23	Fix T93244: Cycles HIP not working with multi GPU rendering	Sayak Biswas
	Use the correct device function (hipDeviceGet) for multi GPU setups, instead of hipGetDevice which just returns the default device. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D13323
2021-11-20	Fix T92984: Cycles HIP crash with smoke volumes	Sayak Biswas
	This fixes the the app crash happening when trying to render smoke as a dense 3D texture. The changes are related to matching up hipew with the actual HIP headers. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D13296
2021-10-22	Cycles: various fixes for HIP and compilation of HIP binaries	Sayak Biswas
	* Additional structs added to the hipew loader for device props * Adds hipRTC functions to the loader for future usage * Enables CPU+GPU usage for HIP * Cleanup to the adaptive kernel compilation process * Fix for kernel compilation failures with HIP with latest master Ref T92393, D12958
2021-10-20	HIP device code cleanup and fix for high VRAM usage	Sayak Biswas
	This patch cleans up code for HIP device and makes it more consistent with the CUDA code. It also fixes the issue with high VRAM usage on AMD cards using HIP allowing better performance and usage on cards like 6600XT. Added a check in intern/cycles/kernel/bvh/bvh_util.h to prevent compiler error with hipcc Reviewed By: brecht, leesonw Maniphest Tasks: T92124 Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D12834
2021-09-28	Cycles: add HIP device support for AMD GPUs	Brian Savery
	NOTE: this feature is not ready for user testing, and not yet enabled in daily builds. It is being merged now for easier collaboration on development. HIP is a heterogenous compute interface allowing C++ code to be executed on GPUs similar to CUDA. It is intended to bring back AMD GPU rendering support on Windows and Linux. https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP. As of the time of writing, it should compile and run on Linux with existing HIP compilers and driver runtimes. Publicly available compilers and drivers for Windows will come later. See task T91571 for more details on the current status and work remaining to be done.
