[PATCH v2 2/4] Add AMDGPU generic targets
This patch adds support for generic AMDGPU targets to binutils. These generic targets, such as gfx9-generic, gfx10-1-generic, and others, allow developers to target a broader range of AMD GPUs without specifying a particular microarchitecture. This simplifies the build process and increases the portability of AMDGPU code.
