6 Clarification on the above: I meant using an implementation of this sort
7 *in standalone mode* i.e. set as THE OpenCL implementation by
8 eselect-opencl. It has never been my intention to criticise the package
9 itself, if anything I have found it quite useful while benchmarking
10 first Beignet and then NEO - but *it* is rather more handy to use it via
11 an ICD loader, e.g. in order to have OpenCL support for both Intel CPUs
12 and Intel GPUs active at the same time.

14 I have already updated the commit message on my end accordingly.
