Description
Hi, developers, I found that there is a branch gpu_comp in polygeist, but it seems only lower the IR generated by cuda-lower, do you have plan to support IR generated by cgeist C front-end, such as is can enable gpu path for legacy C code. the main issue I found is how to automatically insert GPU<->host memcpy.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the gpu_comp branch and comparing the IR path from cuda-lower with the cgeist C front-end. Define how legacy C code should reach the GPU path and how GPU-to-host memcpy insertion should work; completion requires an agreed design and implementation scope.
