As far as I can tell, the LLVM SPIR target is (at least currently) a
drop-in replacement for the NVPTX target - the important difference for
Beignet being that SPIR uses the required OpenCL address space
conventions.

However I have no real knowledge in this field, I simply tried the SPIR
target in frustration over the address space problems I experienced with
NVPTX, and SPIR just happened to work.
