oneapi/l0 is implemented at https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime,
right?  I think that should be fine as long as we provide a link to the
actual implementation code that's accessing the new sysfs directory.
Since the userspace code probably won't fully land until after the
kernel change lands, this would be something like a pull request
against their repo that's reviewed and fully-ready to go.
