Goal: 

Build Gradlib with packages from ROCm.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Gradlib builds

Background:

Gradlib is a ROCm only dependency in the AMD fork  for vLLM.  It has no entry in the pyproject.toml file and no requirements or version tracking.  AMD copy-pasted the code whole into the project as a way to improve gradient calculation performance with optimizations for hipblas and rocblas GEMMs. This was found very late in the cycle and was only delivered to the Builder team a week before the freeze date.

We must add it or we will get runtime failures for the ROCm fork of vLLM.

In the future we may take a different integration approach but for the urgency faced in RHEL AI 1.3, we will take the early work for this feature and integrate a simple port of the build from AMD and deliver this as a wheel, allowing the Python interfaces to be called at runtime.
