I guess it is due to the lack of LDS on CPU.  I'm not sure though but I'll
find out. Also is it necessary to run the bf-opencl on CPU? We might need a
little modified kernel for that.

Here's one out of topic question:
In an sse2(with omp) build the non-opencl cpu version of bf scores around
5300 c/s on fx 8120 . However I found that using the same build on i5 2500k
,the cpu version benches at around 3300 c/s. Does that mean bulldozer is
really that much better than SB in this test ?
