Subject: Re: New patch for OpenCL SHA-512

For example of bad things in GPU code, data dependent decisions and
paths (not avoidable, right?????????):
     if (ctx->buflen <= 111)
        ...
     else
        ...
---
     for (int i = 0; i < 16 + (alt_result->mem_08)[0]; i++)


Means, can't use all GPU power.
