Description

The @unroll macro used to live in GPUifyLoops.jl. Now it lives in the extras folder of KernelAbstractions.jl.

It doesn't seem like the @unroll functionality depends on anything else in KernelAbstractions. Would it be okay if I pulled it out into its own small package?

E.g. GEMMKernels.jl uses @unroll but nothing else - no need to make GEMMKernels load all of KernelAbstractions if it only needs @unroll.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the @unroll implementation in KernelAbstractions.jl's extras folder and how GEMMKernels.jl uses it. Check whether it depends on anything else in KernelAbstractions; done would be a decided package-extraction plan, with the standalone package boundary and required changes identified.
