Additional information:

As a rough estimate of how much speed this would cost on older hardware, I previously measured beignet as 8-16x faster than pocl (but this will obviously depend on hardware and application). However, beignet (on hardware that can't use intel-opencl-icd) is limited to single precision and OpenCL 1.2, so some OpenCL code won't run at all in beignet (e.g. #877316).

beignet skips its tests if it can't find suitable GPU hardware (because buildds/debci probably don't have it), so if you think you have a fix, check whether the tests actually ran. There are some hints on enabling the GPU in a chroot in README.source, but I'm not sure if they actually work.
