It is of HSA Code Object v1.0 format which is slightly different from what AMDGPU assembler currently emitting, the main difference is - code symbol has zero size and amd_kernel_code_t (runtime control structure) and ISA could be non-adjacent. The dissasembler is supposed to accept both versions.

In other words, this is a Elf_Rel file? Why do you need a new extension?

Cheers,
