Vectorization now seem to work fine on AMD. On CPU, Intel fails to make
it SSE2. AMD succeeds:
OpenCL platform 1: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing, 2 device(s).
Using device 1: AMD FX(tm)-8120 Eight-Core Processor
Compilation log: /tmp/OCLat3GEL.cl(253): warning: unknown attribute
"vec_type_hint"
__kernel void __attribute__((vec_type_hint(uint4))) SetCryptKeys(
This is odd. Both AMD and nvidia emit this warning - I can't see what I
do wrong. Works fine on Intel SDK (though Intel stupidly fails to
vectorize, this is also odd).
Note: OpenCL device is CPU. A non-OpenCL build may be faster.
Local worksize (LWS) 8, Global worksize 1024, KPC 4096

I might have to remove that remark about CPU build being faster... this
is on Bull's 8 cores. I suppose this is faster than OMP.
However it fails to even build for nvidia, with weird warnings that
might suggest there are bugs in the nvidia API.
