Sorry - I was assuming that dropping support for i386 in CUDA meant
that also OpenCL is dropped - but it's not the case.

I see PyOpenCL as library to run OpenCL programs - so just "any" wont fit 
it.
Both PyCUDA and PyOpenCL contain tests - I just don't run them automatically
during build time to prevent building on buildd from failing.

How do you (members of this group) test OpenCL packages? Do you have
special hardware, or is there something available that I could use?
I mean - I'd like to enable armhf and pps64el (from NVIDIA ICD)
but don't want to upload package without at least running test on this 
architecture.

Best regards.
