SPU Problems on Linux 3.x, OpenCL related
As far as I know, I'm the only coding OpenCL on the Cell here, if someone want to test something be warned that it's stable until 3.2 branch. This due some spufs changes that ppc-kernel-devs are (maybe) trying to fix, so now latest 3.3/3.4 branches falls into 'possible circular locking dependency detected' and slowdown runtime. Even disabling lock debugging it slowdowns runtime without debug messages, it happens even with OpenCL samples from IBM.

Latest tested kernels:
- 3.2.23 works fine
- 3.3.3 falls into 'possible circular locking dependency detected' and slowdown runtime
- 3.4.6 falls into 'possible circular locking dependency detected' and slowdown runtime
- 3.5.3 falls into 'possible circular locking dependency detected' and slowdown runtime
When program runs, OpenCL builtin function to query available SPEs reply 8 (!), so seems that the issue is OpenCL related.
