[Pkg-opencl-devel] Bug#759707: beignet: New upstream version

I just noticed that beignet uses

-mfpmath=sse -msse2 -Wcast-align -msse2 -msse3 -mssse3 -msse4.1

which may produce code that is not supported on all CPUs that
Debian/i386 and Debian/amd64 runs on ... there is a risk that
applications using beignet will SIGILL on older CPUs (even if they don't
support beignet).

At least the code that decides that beignet is not supported on the
platform should be compiled without these switches.
