Sorry for the late reply (I have been working on other stuff.)

This is not correct.  Even in the original cgroup proposal, it
supports both mask and count as a way to define unit(s) of sub-device.
For AMD, we already have SRIOV that supports GPU partitioning in a
time-sliced-of-a-whole-GPU fashion.
