We're preparing to restructure the MLIR HLO ecosystem with 5 dialects:
- chlo: client dialect with explicit broadcast and multiple composite operations
- mhlo: hlo with dynamic shape, decouple from XLA for evolution purpose
- lmhlo: same as above, but after buffer assignment.
- xla_hlo: mapping 1:1 to the XLA HloInstruction class.
- xla_lhlo: same as above, but after buffer assignment.
The first three dialects are intended to live in the new tensorflow/compiler/mlir/hlo
path, the latter two will be created in tensorflow/compiler/mlir/xla.
This patch only moves the directory, will followup with other transformations and tests.
The structure of the new directory follows: https://llvm.discourse.group/t/rfc-canonical-file-paths-to-dialects/621 as we intend to make it a standalone buildable component (see also https://github.com/google/mlir-npcomp as another example).
