[Beignet] Beignet not working on Dell Precision M3800

[Yang, Rong R]

For test_copy_buffer, you can try Beignet's latest commit, it may fix it.
For test_image_3d, Beignet support 3d image, but it seems this test used 2 channels float format? Beignet only support 1 channel(CL_R) and 4 channels(CL_RGBA) float format.

> [Rong]: Screen frozen may be GPU hang, can you provide your tests or kernel, then I will reproduce and fix it.

There seems to be multiple ones but at least here is one of them:

I was using the pyopencl[1] test cases[2] (cuz I am developing the cffi version for pypy) and the two test cases that are failing in `test_wrapper.py` are `test_image_3d`[4] and `test_copy_buffer`[5].
The 3d image test fail with invalid image format error (is 3d image not supported) and the copy buffer test hang the GPU without doint anything (the returned buffer is empty).

I have created a c version for you to reproduce here[6], in which you can modify the `BUF_SIZE`. On my computer, it fails for all the numbers I have tried from 1 to 50000 so it shouldn't be the problem of too big data transfer (and .... in any cases copying 50000 numbers shouldn't take seconds :P). I haven't played with the flag for creating buffers but at least the current flags have 100% reproducibility here ....

Good to know at least someone are working on it.
