We can merge it to bleeding at any time, just send a pull request on
GitHub. I'm fine with it being WIP as long as it doesn't break anything.
For example, if it fails self-test in some cases that would be OK, but
if it crashes (aborting a full --test run) on some devices (eg. very
weak ones), it's not good and I will like it to be fixed. OTOH we could
just soft-disable it in john.conf in case we need to.

md5crypt (opencl_cryptmd5_fmt_plug.c) would be an excellent base for a
single-kernel format. Is there any chance Pomelo would benefit from a
split/loop kernel?
