Research direction

Start by locating CudaDeviceWorkspace and the code that selects or checks GPUDirect support. Read the linked PyTorch issue for the reported failure mode and inspect existing assertions or validation tests nearby. Done means unsupported GPUDirect usage is rejected clearly instead of producing the described downstream errors.
