Hi,

Personally, I believe you'd be much better off aiming for OpenCL 1.2.

Downgrading to OpenCL 1.1 is a step backwards in time, seeing that you
already have quite a bit of the diff between OpenCL 1.1 and 1.2
implemented.

To me, implementing the remaing bits of OpenCL 1.2 seems much less
daunting than getting the fundamental issues in Beignet sorted out. The
major remaining task seems to be achieving *basic* OpenCL compliance,
and downgrading to OpenCL 1.1 does not move you any closer to that goal.

IMHO the only thing you'll accomplish by downgrading to OpenCL 1.1 is to
stall development of OpenCL 1.2 functionality, and perhaps even put off
some would-be contributors as well.

If you really need an OpenCL 1.1 implementation, perhaps you could put
this in a separate branch, so that others can work on (and with) OpenCL
1.2 functionality?
