   I'm not sure if an event is the right thing for Buffers. In addition to 
being able to synchronize, device buffers are often managed in a stream ordered 
fashion. I.E. allocated and more importantly freed asynchronously from a CPU 
perspective with the ordering being handled via CUDA streams.
   
   I.E. RMM (libcudf's memory manager) has a couple of stream APIs associated 
to its `device_buffer` class as well as a private stream member which gets used 
in its destructor for deallocating.
