[Pkg-opencl-devel] Bug#860805: Bug#860805: Could we set bug #860805 against beignet-opencl-icd to stretch-is-blocker?

[Rebecca N. Palmer]

Upstream status update:

- The patch is probably better than disabling softpin, but neither is 
perfect; in particular, there is now a report of *silently wrong 
results* (it's now yet clear with which), which means a partial fix 
*may* be worse than nothing.

- We now have a test case for the error remaining after the patch, but 
it doesn't fail on my system: any of you with Haswell hardware and a 
real (not chrooted) sid/stretch, please apply the patch then try

I'm not sure why, given that this package is one of several OpenCL 
implementations.
