From my point of view ICD would be preferred.
I wanted to test beignet with PyOpenCL;  I've installed it
on amd64 AMD Phenom and added file to /etc/OpenCL/vendors
pointing it to libocl.so.0.
When I run clinfo to see what is available, I got
"Invalid instruction" signal and core dump.
Should I file the bug? Can beignet run on non-Intel CPU?
If not, as Debian does not allow to depend on particular hardware
(e.g. "Depends: Intel") I guess there would be need to put
some README.Debian or maybe debconf with warning about it.

Best regards.
