If your primary concern is accessibility, I would wait a week or so and see
if CompileCudaWithLLVM does/doesn't make it to the top results for "llvm
cuda" on search engines. I expect it will. AFAIK almost nobody actually
manually navigates through LLVM's docs (they are horrible for that).

If you just need a short link for a presentation or whatever, the simplest
solution might just be to use a URL shortener if you want to have a short
link. E.g. http://tinyurl.com/llvmcuda
Unless you guys are planning on putting a ton of content, I think that a
subdomain is probably overkill. We do have http://openmp.llvm.org that has
its own associated repository, -commits list, -dev list, etc. for the
openmp runtime libs. Are you guys planning on doing something similar?
Generally speaking

Another possibility is making a docs/cuda directory if you guys are
planning on putting a significant amount of documentation content. The
resulting URL for docs/cuda/index.rst would then be llvm.org/docs/cuda
which is reasonable. (be careful if you decide to do this, to not break URL
compatibility; leave the previous pages empty with a link to the new
locations)
