Hi Dag,

I agree that we should not abandon the support for opencl 1.2, but I can't change
the master to opencl 1.2 now for some reason. Instead, I just created a separate
branch for OpenCL 1.2 named "opencl-1.2", and I will maintain it to keep it up-to-date
with master branch. Thanks for your suggestion.
