Rely more on the driver for input checks to reduce latency

[leofang]

Instead of doing all of these checks in Python, if we just set the options as passed and try the launch, does CUDA error gracefully where we can post process the error code to make it meaningful to the user? Doing all of these checks in Python feels expensive and will hurt kernel launch latency.
