I ran it a couple of times both on bull and on my laptop and it worked.

Right now the assembler supports SOP2 type instructions with SGPRs and
literal values (plus inline constants) as the operands. I should add
support for other operand types soon (probably tonight).
Lukas asked me to look at kernel initialization so I will definitely spend
time on that as well.
How are you going to produce that dummy kernel specifically with NOPs?

When I was applying for the GSoC project I made a dummy kernel with NOPs
like that (the second version you list).
I created non-NOP code and then changed all the instructions to NOPs by
"hand" (some python script).
Creating long non-NOP code wasn't trivial because OpenCL has pretty good
optimization.
With Lukas we decided to work with only a simple kernel signature (is it
called that?) for now, which is
__kernel void doSomething(__global uint *input, __constant uint *salt,
__gloal uint *output)
