Ran usual tests with latest trunk, everything was fine on both desktop
and optimus laptop, including opencl and cuda.

The only small issue, that I've already fixed and committed, was that
the XEN on ARM workaround patch had to be extended to fix conftest.sh
too. I'm not entirely sure why it was working OK on 358 though, it's a
bit strange.

Besides that it's all green as far as I can see. Including 358 by the
way, looks ready for experimental to me, I've been using it for a couple
of days.

That sounds like a good idea! Should solve the problem nicely.

Kind regards,
