Sadly, this is just about exactly the question I was about to post. I do not know the answer, and I am sad to see that a question nearly four years old has no responses either. :-(
You can only replicate autorun single work-item kernels; autorun kernels do not have an interface to host or external memory and launch automatically as soon as the FPGA is configured with the associated bitstream. The only means of communicating with an autorun kernel is through on-chip channels. The typical way of using autorun kernels is that a non-autorun kernel is used to read data from memory, then the data is streamed using channels through an array of autorun kernels, and finally forwarded to another non-autorun kernel that writes them back to external memory. Refer to Sections 10.3 and 10.4 of the Programming Guide for more information:
