Right. And that's local ones. With VCL/SnuCL/DistCL you can have a lot
more so oclHashcat supports 128 devices.
I intend to add a file ```common-gpu.[hc]``` for shared stuff between
CUDA and OpenCL, eg. temperature monitoring. When I do that I will merge
MAX_CUDA_DEVICES and MAX_OPENCL_DEVICES to one same MAX_GPU_DEVICES so
they'll always be the same. And I'll probably set it as 128.
