After all, the driver is part of clang's machinery and has little to do with LLVM. The current `CompileCudaWithLLVM.rst` is a bit of a historic artifact that evolved from the times when we only had NVTPX back-end in LLVM and very little to no support for GPU offloading in clang.

I previously made https://clang.llvm.org/docs/OffloadingDesign.html when I first made the version for OpenMP. It's a little outdated and only deals with the internals. It may be beneficial to have some documentation geared more towards users, any suggestions on where to put that?
