(https://steckdenis.wordpress.com/2011/08/23/the-gsoc-is-over/) has been
working hard to get OpenCL working on the CPU.

At the XDC2011, we discussed how GPGPU should be handled and we kind of agreed
on what we should do. This can basically be summed up as using the LLVM IR for
compute. This means we need to implement LLVM backends for our GPUs. See the
Mesa_compilers.pdf attachment.

Also, the runtime bits should be written according the Compute Abstraction
Layer specifications (https://github.com/shinpei0208/cal-spec).

This bug report is actually a meta one that is tracking the development of
OpenCL on Nouveau.
