Python can directly call C APIs via ctypes. Since the HIP APIs we use are indeed C APIs, the AMD driver does not need to compile anything (neither the kernel launch trampoline nor the utils).
The added file hip.py is generated from HIP headers using clang2py (and then trimmed down to include only our used APIs).
