I have nearly zero background in CS, GPUs or hardware drivers. It's
pretty hard to make sense of things. I'm trying my best though. I need
this driver.

I don't have any opinions about hashtables - I just know that
implementing one would take me really long and would probably still be
buggy in the end, and I didn't find a similar API that claims to be a
hashtable.

Is there some code I could use? I'm totally OK with not a hashtable too.
